Meeting Ms. Mullins

Dawn Mullins is a new special education teacher for WCHS this year. Over the past ten years, she has taught between Tennessee and Kentucky schools. She is also a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University.

Her favorite aspect of teaching is “seeing the growth in the kids.”

She also wants everyone to know that she loves to laugh and she thinks that laughing is a very important part of life.

When asked when she knew she wanted to become a teacher, she said, “I think I always knew pretty much because my dad taught and I wanted to do what he did.” She also got the opportunity to go to one of her dad’s classes, which was special education.

In five years, Ms. Mullins would like to be doing a home study, which is where you live completely off of your land. You grow your own garden and you stay completely on your property.

“Knowledge is power,” she said when asked what a lesson would be that she wants all of her students to know. Also, she wants her students to know that you never stop learning in all of your life.

WCHS is glad to have her here this year!
