 Kathy-Ann Pegues received her primary and grammar school education on the island of Barbados and her secondary education in New York City. This combination, coupled with her formal undergraduate training of education at Purdue University and graduate training at Indiana Wesleyan, provided her with a diverse and yet unique perspective on childhood education. Throughout her 11+ years of teaching in Indiana and Georgia public schools, Mrs. Pegues was a leader in driving curriculum changes and programs designed to elevate students’ learning. Her vision for Cornerstone Leadership Academy came as a determination to have a place where her children and others can be educated and challenged to the best of their abilities. |
