Convention 2005
Michael Farris
Michael Farris is HSLDA’s Chairman of the Board and General Counsel. He founded HSLDA in 1983 and served as president through 2000. Education Week named Mike one of the most significant “100 Faces of a Century,” and credited him with helping to move home education “out of the shadows and pushing states to codify parents’ right to teach their children themselves.” In September 2000, Farris was inaugurated as the first President of Patrick Henry College, the only college in America with a homeschooled majority in the student body. PHC is a Christian college blending classical instruction with apprenticeship methodology.
Farris is a constitutional lawyer, a published author of eight non-fiction works and three novels, an ordained minister, and a leading pro-family activist on Capitol Hill. He and his wife Vickie were married in 1971. They have 10 children and seven grandchildren. They have homeschooled since 1982.
