Co Principal
Greeting Dillard Academy Tigers! My name is Tasha Christian Adams. I was raised in Goldsboro NC for most of my life. I am a proud graduate of Goldsboro High School. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU) in Elementary Education. While attending JCSU, I earned an additional certification from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC-Charlotte) in K-12 Mental Disabilities. I furthered my Education at UNC-Charlotte by earning a Master of Education in Education Administration and Curriculum Supervision. I also earned my National Boards in Teaching in the area of Exceptional Needs Pre-K through Young Adulthood. Some of my educational experiences include serving as a Teacher, Teaching Assistant Principal, Reading Coordinator, Summer Site Administrator, Assistant Principal and Principal. I am proud to be an educator of more than thirty and I look forward to working with students and parents so that together we can… catch the wave to academic success!
One of my favorite quotes is from one of my favorite educators, Ms. Marva Collins- “There is a brilliant child locked inside every student.”

Co-Principal
Hello, my name is John Twitty, and I have been in education for over 28 years. I served 26 years in the United States Air Force, where I gained extensive experience in operations and management. Education is especially meaningful to me because I believe it is the key to success
I love my role because it allows me to help students reach their goals. Each day, I enjoy visiting classrooms, observing instruction, and connecting with students. I challenge every student to strive for excellence in all they do.
Dillard Academy is truly a great place to work. Our teachers care deeply about students and their well-being. I am committed to serving in any capacity I can to support our staff, students, and community. My goal is to help make Dillard Academy a desirable place to work and a wonderful place for students to learn and grow.
