Admissions

Middle School Speaker

Middle school students recently met with WFS parent Dr. Taryn Fletcher, who worked as a teacher and school administrator for almost 20 years before writing a book and starting her own business to help schools incorporate more cultural diversity in their classrooms. 
Dr. Fletcher studied the consequences of the Supreme Court decision Brown versus Board of Education as part of a large research project for her doctoral degree. She talked to students about the effects, both positive and negative, of school desegregation on students of color. Dr. Fletcher was joined by her mother, Dr. Olivia Roane, a public school teacher for more than 36 years and a former professor in the Department of Education at Wilmington University. Dr. Roane shared her experiences as a teacher in segregated schools.
