Faculty Member
In 1938, George Paralis, already an established painter and art teacher, joined the faculty of Anatolia College. His teaching career ended in 1971. In addition to his dedication to education, his contribution to Anatolia College was decisive. During the German occupation, working with the Iatrides family, he managed to save a significant portion of the school’s library collection and other equipment. By transporting and storing the salvaged items in the basements of their homes, they ensured the survival of the institution’s intellectual heritage. In his honor, the renovated Art Room at Anatolia College was later named after him.
