We are so proud of Walela Williams, who had the honor of introducing Maurice “Mo” Green during his presentation as part of the Achieving Educational Excellence – Best in Nation Tour.
This inspiring event celebrated the future of public education in North Carolina, and Walela represented our school beautifully as students helped showcase the incredible work happening in Swain County Schools.
