Foxboro Elementary

DAVIS SCHOOL DISTRICT WROTE: Throughout Black History Month, we’re celebrating the heroes right here in Davis School District, like teachers and staff who work tirelessly every day to make our schools a place of learning, growth and inspiration. Meet Morgan Tate, an Administrative Intern at Foxboro Elementary School, whose passion for creating a positive school environment continues to inspire those around her. From a young age, Tate knew she wanted to be a teacher. A significant turning point came when she was in fourth grade and experienced being singled out. "At that moment, I never wanted anyone to be treated differently, especially children due to their race, ethnicity or abilities," Tate said. "I made my decision to be a teacher and have the opportunity to be a positive role model in students' lives." Throughout her career, Tate has had several opportunities to connect with students and make a lasting impact. As a 2nd-year teacher at Woods Cross Elementary, Tate worked with the school’s principal to start a multicultural club to foster awareness and support for students of all backgrounds. "I’ve been able to have several conversations with students of color to listen, validate and be a safe space for them to express their concerns or challenges," Tate explained. Tate’s journey to becoming an educator was not without sacrifices. "Pursuing my dreams required sacrifices, including working a second job to earn my master’s while teaching full-time. Balancing work, school and personal life was challenging, but my passion for creating an inclusive learning environment kept me motivated," Tate said. Tate hopes that future generations of educators and students learn the power of making a positive change. "I hope future educators and students learn that perseverance and purpose make sacrifices worthwhile. Challenges will come, but staying committed to positive change ensures a lasting impact," she shared. Throughout Black History Month,... - Davis School District | Facebook
