Congratulations to 2019 Teacher of the Year: Tasia Burroughs!

DREAM’s Teacher of the Year award recognizes an exceptionally dedicated and impactful teacher who inspires students, families, fellow teachers, and the entire DREAM community. DREAM is thrilled to announce that the 2019 Teacher of the Year award goes to Tasia Burroughs!

Tasia Burroughs was a founding teacher at DREAM Charter High School and has been teaching there for two years. This past year, she volunteered to help teach a math class so she could provide extra support to students who needed it, and she stepped up to coach the dance team and lead the yearbook team. Even with these extra responsibilities, Tasia made sure that every student she taught had a way to access the material, regardless of their background or learning style. Her colleagues describe her as a teacher who “embodies DREAM values and shows up to work every day with love, energy, and determination.”

We’re proud to celebrate the success of our teachers. Congrats Tasia!
