He was employed by The New Haven Board of Education as a Paraprofessional at Jackie Robinson Middle School. In 1999, Mrs. Eleanor Boyd recommended that he receive training at Jackie Robinson under the leadership of Dr. Belinda Carberry, who became very influential in his life, becoming a mother figure to him. Later in his career he became a Dropout Prevention Specialist within the New Haven Board of Education. “Myrick” helped so many students and afforded them many opportunities to focus on learning and their future. He started the gospel choir at Jackie Robinson where he met and adopted his two Godchildren: Tiffany Baines and Davida Fulton. A man of vision, integrity and wisdom, Elder Jamarr A. Myrick sought God for ways to help society believe in whom they served. Thus in 2012, he established his motto, “ANOINTED TO SURVIVE”.
