Jaron Roberson

Principal, South LA college Prep

Jaron "Mr. Rob" Roberson began his career teaching 8th Grade Social Studies in Columbia, South Carolina after graduating from Clemson University. He later returned to his hometown of Atlanta, GA, where he taught middle-grade Social Sciences and served as Grade Level Chair. Under his leadership, his 6th graders achieved the highest majority-minority scores in the state, surpassing 50% proficiency in both ELA and Math.

In 2022, Rob moved to Los Angeles, serving first as a Dean of Students in South LA before stepping into the role of Dean of Teaching & Learning. His leadership helped his school lead the network in ELA and Math growth.

Now, as Principal of South LA College Prep, Rob is excited to continue working with some of his former middle school students and new ones, guiding them toward college-completion readiness. His vision for SLACP is clear: to set the standard for excellence in South Central, earning recognition as a California Distinguished School on the path to becoming a National Blue Ribbon School.
