BOARD MEMBERS

CASSANDRA ROBERTS

Board President

Cassandra Roberts is a co-founder and President of Pathways To Excellence, Inc. Having taught over 15,000 students over the course of her 37-year career, she has had the opportunity to touch the lives of adults, soldiers and middle- and high-school students, and play a role in their ultimate success. As an educator, she started and led several mentoring programs targeting students of color, especially young women in middle school and high school.

Outside of the classroom, Mrs. Roberts encouraged students’ parents to take advantage of grants and financial aid to pursue continuous education. Known as the “Scholarship Lady,” she has led efforts to award over $150,000 in undergraduate scholarships, and to create a scholarship endowment for students to ensure students continued to have access to money.

One of her most rewarding experiences involved leading a state-recognized program designed for students who were interested in knowing more about the teaching profession.
