Get to know Mrs. Tammy Dunn:

I have been in education for over 20 years as a math teacher and administrator. I have a BSEd from the University of Missouri and a Specialist Degree in Administration from William Woods University.  I love working with middle school students.  Watching them grow into independent learners from 5th grade to 8th grade is very magical.  Thank you for trusting me with your students.
