In April 2023, the Roanoke (Virginia) City Public School’s Board elected to name its administration building after influential educators and statesman William B. Robertson. The dedication ceremony will take place April 11, 2025 (4:00 PM) followed by a reception. More information and details will be shared here and on our social accounts (Instagram @robertsoninitiative and Facebook/Facebook event).

At this milestone event, the Robertson Initiative will officially launch its Robertson Scholars Program (RSP), which supports HBCU higher education goals for Roanoke City Public School students. Learn more (and donate) here.
