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.”
