Jared Robinson serves as the Assistant Principal of Brusly Upper Elementary in Brusly, Louisiana. He earned his Bachelor of Music Education in 2012 and his Masters in Educational Leadership in 2016 from Southern University A&M College of Baton Rouge, Louisiana (Geaux Jags!!!) When he's not following the SU Jags on the weekends, you can find him extending his love for the arts, outside of the school building, in his private studio. Jared has served his community in several non-profit organizations such as: 100 Black Men of Metro Baton Rouge, The Debose Foundation and Baton Rouge Symphony Chorus. Jared has a servant's heart and has an uncompromisable view that all students can learn.

Jared established himself as an artist, releasing two gospel albums along-side members of his church and close friends from undergrad. Since the release of those albums, he has led worship at several local churches and has been the lead keyboard player for several gospel groups in his community. He most recently made his operatic debut in Southern Opera’s production of “Emit Till” arranged by Charles Lloyd Jr. as Curtis, the cousin of Emit Till.

Jared has a servant's heart and has an uncompromisable view that all students can learn. He is a firm advocate for the arts and as a school leader, fights to ensure that all students have access to the arts.
