Bob Stokes joined SREB in 2012, bringing many years of experience in the work world, the military and the field of education. Prior to coming to SREB, he spent time in Kentucky and Tennessee as an academic, CTE and special education teacher as well as 10 years as a principal. In all of these roles, he saw the value of asking students about their career goals and helping them develop a clear vision for a successful future.

At SREB, Bob draws on his unique experiences as he works with schools to empower their students to achieve their dreams, not just their test scores. With his support, schools in states nationwide are helping students recognize the relevance of classroom assignments and how they connect with “what they want to be when they grow up.”
