When it comes to the Roanoke County
school system, you can't argue with the
numbers.
Currently, all the county's schools
are accredited and they all made
adequate yearly progress under No Child
Left Behind.
The school system is also the first
in Virginia to receive district
accreditation from the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools.

Linda Weber played a big part in.
She oversaw the building of one new
high school and the renovation of
several other schools.
She was also instrumental in creating
five specialty programs and getting
laptops for all high school students.
But what's most impressive some
teachers say is her work ethic.
