Best teacher
I always looked forward to Mrs. Dillaman's English class. She really had a way of teaching that inspired me to do my best. So sad to hear of her passing.

Good Times

We can still diagram sentences!
Mrs. Dillaman was an amazing teacher that not only taught English but also life lessons and respect. She pushed every kid and didn't mind calling them out when they deserved it. What a wonderful woman!
