🎓 **Dooly Legacy Initiative - Week 14** 🎓
They walked our halls as students. Now they're shaping the future for the next generation.
**This week's Dooly Legacy is Ms. Jabria Collier**, 8th grade Physical Science teacher at Dooly County K8 Academy!
Ms. Collier is a proud Dooly County graduate who returned home to ignite curiosity and critical thinking in her students. In her science classroom, she's not just teaching formulas and lab procedures—she's showing our 8th graders how to question, investigate, and understand the world around them through the lens of scientific inquiry.
She knows the power of a great science teacher because she experienced it right here in Dooly County. Now, she's preparing the next generation for high school and beyond, building the foundation for future scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers.
Thank you, Ms. Collier, for bringing your passion for science back home! 💛
