Cheryl Facciani was elected to serve on the Roanoke County School Board for the Windsor Hills District in 2021. She is the second woman elected to the Roanoke County School Board and truly believes it is her mission to serve her community and the children within it. She was elected as vice-chairman of the school board in 2024.
Cheryl earned her Bachelors of Science in Communication Disorders from University of New Hampshire Honors College and her Masters of Science in Communication Disorders from William Paterson University, graduating magna cum laude. Later she served as an Adjunct Professor at William Paterson University teaching graduate students in clinical practice.
Cheryl worked as a speech language pathologist specializing in swallowing disorders while working and teaching at NY-Columbia Presbyterian Hospital and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. She worked in various medical settings and early intervention home health. One of her most rewarding work experiences was volunteering as a speech therapist at Lautoka School for Special Education in Fiji.
Cheryl served on the JDRF Board of Directors for two terms focusing on advocacy, outreach and fundraising. Three of her four children live with Type One Diabetes, a chronic autoimmune disease. She continues to provide support, guidance and counseling to parents of newly diagnosed children.
Cheryl and her husband have four children who graduated from or currently attend Roanoke County Public Schools. Together they believe their decision to live and educate their children in Roanoke County Public Schools was the best decision they made when choosing a place to raise a family.
Cheryl is committed to ensuring proper fiscal management of the budget and capitol improvements, ensuring a safe and dynamic school environment for all children to reach their maximal potential and transparency, so that parents, teachers and the community all have a voice in the decision-making process.
Cheryl believes that together we are better and can do great things. She looks forward to serving her community and making a difference in the lives of others.
When she is not working, volunteering or caring for her family, Cheryl enjoys playing tennis and golf, taking long walks with her dogs, Rafa and Birdie, and traveling to places off the beaten path.
