Dublin City Schools is proud to announce that Telesha Williams has been named the district’s 2025 Support Staff of the Year. Williams, who has been part of the Dublin City Schools family since 2005, is Susie Dasher Elementary School’s Reading Interventionist. She received the prestigious honor during a special luncheon held earlier today to celebrate all the district's Support Staff of the Year nominees.
“I’m so excited, overwhelmed, and proud to be part of Susie Dasher and Dublin City Schools,” said Williams. “I did my student teaching here, and it’s been a dream to progress from student teacher to Kindergarten teacher, 1st Grade teacher, 2nd Grade teacher, and now as a Reading Interventionist.”
Williams’ dedication to enhancing literacy and supporting student success has made a lasting impact throughout the district. As a Reading Interventionist, she has worked tirelessly to provide individualized support in reading comprehension, letter fluency, and phonics. An advocate for the science of reading, she ensures that Susie Dasher students have the tools they need to excel both inside and outside the classroom. Her passion, commitment, and outstanding contributions to the school community have earned her this well-deserved recognition.
“Mrs. Williams was first and foremost a great teacher, so as she transitioned to Reading Interventionist, the foundation was there with her rituals, her routines, and the love she has for learning in and of itself,” explained Lakeisha Fluker, principal of Susie Dasher Elementary School. “Her love for kids, her enthusiasm, and her love for learning is contagious. She’s true to her calling. And as Dr. Williams likes to say, I’m peacock proud because, in everything she does, she operates with P.R.I.D.E.”
Today’s luncheon, hosted in honor of all Dublin City Schools’ 2025 Support Staff of the Year, highlighted the exceptional work of individuals who play an essential role in the daily operations of schools, from ensuring student safety to enhancing academic outcomes. Williams was selected from a talented pool of nominees representing each school in the district, further showcasing her outstanding contributions to Susie Dasher Elementary and the broader educational community.
