New Augusta, Miss. (WDAM) - Perry Central High School teacher Andrea McSwain earned the Woman of Distinction Award for 2021.
McSwain was awarded the honor by the Alpha Alpha Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, an organization that promotes professional and personal growth of women educators.
“We are essentially chosen by other members to join the society based on what they kind of see in us, that spark, who maybe exhibit almost like the ideal of what it means to excel in education,” McSwain said.
