The DeSoto High School choir director now boasts a Grammy award in her stock of achievements after winning the prestigious award this week. 'What I think my students really realize now is that what I've been doing has always been for them and not about me,' longtime teacher Pamela Dawson said in a release. Dawson received this year's Grammy Music Educator Award along with $10,000 and a matching grant for her school's music program. The award recognizes educators who have made a 'significant and lasting contribution to the music education field and demonstrate a commitment to the broader cause of maintaining music education in the schools,' according to a DeSoto news release.
