Hello! My name is Tekela Cherie, and I am a first-grade teacher at THE Gilliard Elementary School. I have a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology. My goal everyday is to have a positive impact on every student I encounter. I strive to inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.

“If you look behind every exceptional person there is an exceptional teacher.”
