Fort Washington, MD - Rita Cameron is a retired educator, former teacher, principal, and supervisor of instructional materials. She is author of 'Let's Learn about Maryland; The School House Encyclopedia of Educational Programs and Activities', and various travel articles and safety programs for The American Automobile Association. Dr. Cameron is the founder of School House Global Enterprises.  Her most recent book, published in 2014,  'Letters to Billie A Love Story', is a salute to her late husband, Vaseleos Colevas.

At the age of 20, Rita first began teaching in the District of Columbia public schools. Rita’s school was in a financially deprived area, and most could not read the adult level books that were provided to them. Rita began rewriting materials and teaching them as reading lessons. 

“We were able to accomplish success.”

Within five years, Rita won a National Teacher’s Contest. She became the youngest principal in Maryland. She continued her writing for several publishers of educational materials.

After receiving her doctorate, Rita began her own educational publishing company. As her company grew, she was doing two full time jobs - running her large school, and developing her materials. Eventually, she left the school system to spend full time on School House Global Enterprises.

When Rita met her 2nd husband, they became world travelers. After twenty-seven years of marriage, he passed away in 2013. She was inspired to write Letters to Billie A Love Story as a tribute their life together.

“My years with Billie were the happiest of my life,” says Rita.
