for Roswell School
Board District 1

Every Child, Every Mind, Every Opportunity

Hi! My name is Sarah McArthur and I'm running for Roswell School Board. I believe that every child in Roswell deserves a champion who listens, advocates, and acts. As your District One candidate, I am committed to ensuring that every mind is valued and every opportunity is accessible to our students.

MY background

My roots run deep in Roswell, and I am proud to bring my energy, open-mindedness, and strong work ethic to the race for School Board District One. With years of community engagement and a reputation for straightforward problem-solving, I believe in public service that puts students first, supports our dedicated teachers, and fosters academic freedom for all. I have a deep respect for Roswell’s shared history, and I’m excited about building a future where our schools reflect the values of inclusion, fairness, and care. Through active listening and honest conversation, I aim to unite our district and create real partnerships among families, educators, and the wider community. Together, we can honor the potential of every student and make sure every voice in our schools is truly heard.

Sarah McArthur and Nancy Fleming were the first voters in line in November 2024 for Early Voting!
