DeAnna Burns - EC Teacher
dburns@dillardacademy.org
I am a caring educator who has worked hard to earn my degrees all after having three children. I started back to school when my middle child was in middle school. I got my undergraduate degree in English and then later I worked hard and received my graduate degree in Education in 2010. I am looking forward to working at Dillard Academy this year as a case manager in the EC department. I have many resources, books and materials to share with the teachers and students at this school. Although I was not born in Eastern NC or Goldsboro, I do call this area home because I am a proud graduate of Goldsboro High School (Cougar Pride). I have worked as an educator in the Atlanta area but I am so thankful for this opportunity and I am glad to be back in Goldsboro this year. I know we will have a great year.
