Dawn Bradley has been chosen as this week’s winner of the Hood County News A.C.E. (Achieving Campus Excellence) Award.
She teaches graphic design, photography and is the yearbook advisor, all within the Career and Technical Education Department at Granbury High School. She was nominated by Amariz Lumbreras.
Amariz has this to say about Dawn: “Mrs. Bradley deals with multiple things every day that many people don't see. She has a high-stress job, but she still keeps a smile on her face every day. She comes through for our school in many ways, and I honestly believe that if we lose Mrs. Bradley, GHS would be in some trouble. She tries her best for us every day, and I just wanted her to know we are thankful for having her. Mrs. Bradley has put up with me for four years, even when I drive her crazy. I probably give her several heart attacks every day, but she still loves me no matter what. She has taught me so many things and she is a great teacher.
