UPCOMING SPEAKER
Armistead Lemon
December 3
Join us Wednesday for our weekly meeting in Charter Hall on the third floor of the City Market Building; networking and lunch begin at 12:00PM. We will listen to Armistead Lemon, Head of North Cross School. Armistead will talk about the growth of North Cross and the planned next steps.
The North Cross School is an independent, nonsectarian school serving students in early childhood through 12th grade from across the Roanoke Valley, the region, and the world. It strives to inspire a community of intellectually curious learners to think critically, act with integrity, and lead with courage.
Armistead spent the last 20 years in independent school education. Upon graduating from North Cross in 1995, she received her B.A. in English from Washington and Lee University and received her M.A. in English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Last spring she was inducted into the Heads Collegiate Forum, an organization honoring 100 current heads of school.
Having spent 16 years as a senior administrator and teacher at Harpeth Hall in Nashville, TN, Armistead returned to her hometown of Roanoke to serve as North Cross’s first female Head of School as well as first alumna Head of School. She is in her fourth year of headship and lives on the campus of North Cross with her husband and two children.
