Roberts joined the staff of the high school as vice principal in 2009 after teaching eighth grade in the Atlanta metropolitan area for 11 years, a press release said.

She has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Agnes Scott College, a master’s degree in middle grades science education from the University of West Georgia, and an educational specialist degree in educational administration from Lincoln Memorial University.

Her talk will be first for the 2017-2018 year for AAUW. New presidents for the year are Mayme Crowell and Fay Martin, the press release said.

A luncheon of soup, sandwiches, and dessert, will be catered by the Soup Kitchen at a cost of $8. Coffee and iced tea will be available. Reservations may be made by calling Mary Uziel at (865) 483-1043. The luncheon will be at 11:30 a.m. and the program will begin at noon.

Those attending are asked to bring items that cannot be purchased with food stamps such as dishwashing soap, laundry soap, and other cleaning products; and toilet paper, paper towels, and personal care items, such as soap and toothbrushes to donate to ADFAC (Aid to Distressed Families of Appalachian Counties).
