Dobie High School educator Melissa McCalla-Allen was recently named the Texas Council of Social Studies High School Teacher of the Year. McCalla-Allen was presented the award at the TCSS Annual Convention in San Antonio.

McCalla-Allen is a peer facilitator and teaches Social Studies and Macroeconomics. “We are very proud of the work she has done and she is very deserving of this honor,” said Dobie principal Steve Jamail.

The TCSS is comprised of hundreds of Social Studies teachers and administrators from around the state.

McCalla-Allen was humbled when it was announced she had won the award. “It really is an honor to have your fellow teachers recognize you for your contribution to students and teaching,” she said.
