Board approves new administrator
We are pleased to announce the Ferguson-Florissant Board of Education approved the hiring of Robert Powell as interim executive director of Challenger Learning Center. He replaces Tasmyn Scarl, who has been named the CEO of Launch Code after 21 years of service in the District.
Powell has served as the education director at Challenger Learning Center since 2008. In that role, he developed aerospace education outreach workshops, professional development for education professionals, and developed standards-based interdisciplinary lessons for Pre-K - 12 students. Prior to joining the District, Powell was the associate director for school partnerships and community science programs at St. Louis Science Center.
Powell began his career in educational programming in 1992, serving as programs manager at the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science.
He holds a bachelor's in mathematics from North Carolina Central University.
Please join us in congratulating Mr. Powell on his new role. We wish him much success in the upcoming school year.
