Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology, a leading aviation education college for over 85 years, today announced the appointment of one of its Board members, Peter H.

Harris consistently produces positive results in organizations by listening to customers and delivering high quality services.

He has served on many boards of directors for companies in education, service and manufacturing industries and is currently serving as Chairman of the Board of Meritas, a worldwide family of college-preparatory schools.
Harris has held the position of CEO or COO at several large companies, such as a national staffing firm and the largest owner and operator of Jiffy Lube stores, as well as a provider of telephonic interpretation services for more than 200 languages.
Harris received an honors undergraduate degree in Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences and Political Science from Northwestern University and a Juris Doctorate from Harvard Law School, where he served as Editor-in-Chief of the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy. He and his wife, Alexandra, are the parents of four children and currently reside in Dallas, Texas.
