Westminster Schools

ATLANTA — The Southern Association for College Admission Counseling honored Sarbeth Fleming, associate director of college counseling at Westminster Schools, with the Myron G. Burney Award for Inclusion and Access.

Fleming is a native of Kannapolis who attended Kannapolis City Schools before graduating from the North Carolina School for Science and Mathematics in Durham. She earned degrees from Winston-Salem State University and the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law in Columbus, Ohio.

According to the association, the award honors an administrator who has “made a significant impact in our field promoting inclusion and access.”

The accolade is named after Myron Burney, who helped underrepresented students attend college through his work at higher education institutions like Morehouse College, the University of Georgia, and the University of North Carolina.

Fleming is the mother of Naomi Fleming and granddaughter of Corine Lytle Cannon of Kannapolis.
