Hello everyone I am Mrs. Dawn McLain. This is my 16th year to teach. I am currently teaching Math. I originally earned a BSE in business and later earned my MAT in teaching. I more recently completed my MSE for Gifted Education. I was awarded the Milken Educator Award in January of 2018. I was the 2016-17 North Little Rock School District Teacher of the Year. I attended Honeywell Educators at Space Academy in 2016. It was a dream of mine to go since I was in grade school.

My husband, Jeff, is Deputy Coroner for Saline County and he also runs his own business. He builds engines for cars and boats. My daughter, Kaylee, is 23 and is currently serving in the Navy in San Diego, California. She got married in September 2019. Her husband, Ryan, is 24 and he is a Marine also stationed in San Diego, CA. My son, Anthony, is 18 and is a Freshman at Arkansas Tech in Russellville. He is an Eagle Scout. My family loves to spend time at the lake and riding side-by-sides.
