Shannon Cosart » Staff Directory

As an undergraduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I realized my passion for helping young people grow, mature, and develop. Because of this passion, I earned a bachelor's degree in elementary education. After teaching Kindergarten and First Grade, I later attended Wake Forest University and earned an MBA in finance. This unique blend of teaching and business education will allow me to add a valuable perspective to the Board of Directors.

On a personal note, I am the proud father of three boys who have all attended SkyView Academy since kindergarten. My wife, Kristi, and I have supported SVA in various roles for the past 12 years. Professionally, I am Director of Strategic Sourcing at an SAP 500 real estate company. After obtaining my MBA from Wake Forrest, I spent the majority of my career at IBM in finance before transitioning to my current role.

Growing up, I moved quite a bit, attending eight different schools from kindergarten to my senior year in high school. My experience in attending many different schools has helped me to identify and appreciate a truly special institution like SkyView. I understand that SkyView isn’t perfect, but it has a culture that has enabled our children to thrive in elementary, middle, and high school. I want to support the administration, staff, and teachers, providing them with the tools they need to best care for students at SkyView Academy.
