Keith Poston

Keith Poston is President of WakeEd Partnership, a PEARL partner.  Growing up and in his career, Keith has been inspired by countless teachers:

“Teachers inspire me. I’ve been fortunate to have so many wonderful teachers in my own education journey, but also my mother, my sister, my father-in-law, the teachers my daughter has had in her educational experiences and the literally hundreds of educators I’ve had the opportunity to get to know through my work. I keep them top of mind every day and how I can best support and advocate for them.”     

WakeEd is a nonprofit focused on public schools in Wake County that has been proud to partner with PEARL over the past year in their work to make sure every student has the kind of support and encouragement needed to succeed. Particularly during this difficult time of COVID-19, this kind of support for students who were at greater risk of falling behind has been critical.
