While she has been outstanding on the golf course and in her efforts to cheer on the teams at University Heights Academy, there is much more than the on-the-court and off-the-court activities for Ava Roberts. It is for those reasons that she is the latest Chick-fil-A ‘Triple A.’

Even with all of this and her time involved in athletics, Ava finds time to be involved outside of school connections. She is an active member of New Work Fellowship and has volunteered at Vacation Bible School many times. And, she has volunteered at several community organizations.
Then there are her athletic activities as well. Ava has been a varsity cheerleader since 8th grade and got the opportunity to cheer at Rupp Arena for the state tournament in 2021 and at the All “A” Classic for basketball in 2023.
