---Meet the Teacher---

Greetings! I am Ms. Dawson and I am so excited to be your teacher this year!

​

I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,  but grew up in various places all over this great country of ours, such as: Pennsylvania, Nevada, Florida, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Massachusetts, and now Texas!   I have had various professions, from fire fighting, opening restaurants across the country, webmaster/layout artist for a fishing publication, and now teaching.  

I have always had an innate calling for teaching and training, and decided to become a teacher after an amazing morning of teaching my niece to paint and at the declaration from one of my best friends, " Why aren't you a teacher?'  With her help, I set upon the journey of becoming a certified teacher.  I have obtained 5 certifications (4 core and Art) and love to implement cross curriculum projects/information.  

​

I am so thrilled to be apart of Walsh Middle School for the last 5 years, and  that I not only teach but have the privilege to mentor students to prepare them for their future endeavors.
