Roberts Receives Full Scholarship to Campbell University

Sarah Casey Roberts, of Clayton, NC, has received a four-year scholarship, the J. Hunter and Mabel C. Strickland Memorial Scholarship, to Campbell University. Roberts is the daughter of Paul and Jane Roberts.
A senior at Clayton High School, Roberts serves as homeroom representative to the Student Government Association and secretary of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. She is also a member of the Clayton Youth Council and Horne Memorial Youth Group. She has participated in all of these organizations through high school and served as class president during her freshman year. Roberts has been named to Who’s Who Among American High School Students and was a Wofford Scholar and Morehead Scholar nominee. She has been consistently named to the Principal’s List throughout her academic career. Her athletic honors include winning the Rookie of the Year Award for cross country and outdoor track; making All Conference teams for indoor and outdoor track and cross country; winning the Achievement Award for outdoor track; and making the All Conference, All Regional, All State outdoor track team.
An active member of her community, Roberts has volunteered for charitable organizations such as House of Hope and the Smithfield Rescue Mission, as well as participated in mission trips to Washington, D.C., Tennessee, West Virginia, and Asheville.
“One passion that I have discovered is working with the less fortunate,” Roberts said.” In fact, the most rewarding public service activities in which I have participated have been the mission trips I’ve been a part of through my church. Working in the Appalachian Mountains, my eyes have been opened to a whole different world; a world that I did not know existed. The summers that I spent in the mountains taught me many values about life, and I became more thankful for all that has been given to me. Once I am enrolled in college, I plan to continue these trips because I enjoy helping others see the world in a brighter way.”
When she gets to Campbell, Roberts plans to major in either mathematics or chemistry and minor in Spanish. She looks forward to using her Spanish minor to work with Hispanic communities.
