Dr. Tracey Burrell hosts another episode of Teach, Reach, Inspire, focusing on educators and education in our region. Veteran teachers, those who have 20+ years of experience, are turning in their classroom keys and officially checking out of school. But not these guests. They are what I consider Legendary Teachers.
