Born September 4, 1953 to James and Leanther Summerville, Mildred
Summerville is professional educator, middle school teacher, principal
in the North Carolina school system, and an advocate for children,

her faith and passion for gospel music. She is an active member of Mt.
Calvary Word of Faith Church in Raleigh, NC, and Armor Bearer for
Pastor Shirley Caesar.
Over the years, Ms. Summerville has served as a coach, athletic director, lead teacher, curriculum specialist, and accreditation visiting committee member, in addition to holding tenure as an administrator. She is active in a variety of professional and civic organizations (including Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the Fayetteville State University Chancellor's Club, and the Darden Trojan Athletic Heritage Association.) Ms. Summerville founded and went on to serve as chief executive officer for numerous organizations, most with a community outreach focus: Summerville Promotion and Production Company, Inc.; D.E.W. Productions, Inc.; Pioneers in Gospel Music Awards, Inc.; the Bishop F.C. Barnes Scholarship Fund; the Reverend James and Leanther Summerville Scholarship Fund; the M.S. Scholarship Foundation, and the Scholarship and Emergency Assistance Program, Inc.

Ms. Summerville, who is physically rather tall, was given the nickname "Tall One" by Pastor Shirley Caesar. One of Ms. Summerville's many endeavors include Teaching Academics of Life Learning - 1 Outreach Ministries, aka "TALL-1 Outreach Ministries", a non profit, community-based organization serving Wilson County, North Carolina by promoting education and cultural awareness. TALL-1 OM operates J&L Summerville Academy, an alternative school named in memory of her father and mother.
As a means to sustain J&L Summerville Academy, God gave Ms. Summerville an inspirational vision; the gospel play "Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child." The play serves as one of our major fund raisers for the Academy.
