TRS Talks: Teacher Wins Grammy (and hearts)

Before taking home the 2023 Grammy Educator of The Year Award, Pamela Dawson spent many years teaching music in public schools. In this TRS Talks feature, we travel to DeSoto High School to capture a behind-the-scenes look at Ms. Dawson’s heart for kids. As this Texas teacher continues to touch young lives, she also looks forward to her next chapter as a TRS retiree.

You can also meet many other interesting peers, including 106-year old retiree “Weezie” Carruthers and “high-fiving” member Mike Shaw on our YouTube channel @TRSofTexas
