Testimonials

"Business and community engagement is an essential part of the way Nashville transformed its high schools, effectively raising its graduation rate and improving student outcomes for all learners. Cheryl has not only been an outspoken advocate but is part of the reason why the movement in Metro Schools to increase the equity and access for student career exploration continues to gain momentum more than a decade after the Academies of Nashville inception. She is solutions-oriented and student-centered - two qualities that make her extremely valuable as a partner and representative of successful, supportive school commitment."
