Keith Ferguson is a currently a Memphis City Schools employee and a former City of Germantown employee, where he was the first African-American to serve in Administration.
Though most recently having completed graduate courses at The University of Memphis, Ferguson graduated from Liberty University, a Christian liberal arts institution in Lynchburg, Virginia, which was founded by the late Jerry Falwell. Falwell organized the Moral Majority, a conservative political lobbying movement that was soon dubbed by the press as the "Religious Right."

Keith Ferguson brings with him a standard of excellence that permeates all things with which he aligns himself. In 1992, he was instrumental in the radical turnaround of a struggling basketball program, which was 5 in 23 before his arrival, and 22 and 7 the following year as a result of his influence. He was inducted in the All Big South Conference Team, named Rookie of the Year, played for Gene Bess, the nation's premier basketball coach, teammate of NBA player Latrell Sprewell, and also co-hosted a sports radio talk show. As a testament to his concern for and commitment to community affairs, Ferguson has been heavily involved in countless civic organizations. Some include: The Frayser Exchange Club,
Urban League, Memphis Shelby County Aging Commission, Memphis Educational Association, Tennessee Educational Association, National Education Association, Scenic Hills PTA, Memphis City Schools Parent Assembly, Tony Delk Sickle Cell Foundation, FFUN Charity Golf Tournament, NFL Summer Jam Football Camp, and Porter Leath Youth Council Advisory, just to name a few.
Ferguson has been instrumental in several political campaigns in roles such as campaign manager, poll worker, and fundraiser. In addition, he has facilitated numerous voter registration drives. Also to his credit, Keith Ferguson was recently elected to serve on the Democratic Executive Committee.
