Dalila Spratt

"I ABSOLUTELY love teaching!!!! I’ve wanted to be a teacher since the age of five. I am a passionate, highly qualified teacher with 17 years of experience teaching English and reading on the middle and high school levels. I love my students and often develop life-long relationships with some of them. During my career, I have had the honor to have been awarded the title Teacher of the Year twice, in December 2002 and in December 2017. I find it a blessing to love what I do and be appreciated for it. At this time, I have absolutely no desire to come out of the classroom." - Dalila Spratt

Ms. Dalila Spratt is a Chicago native who moved to Birmingham, Alabama in 1993 to attend Miles College. There she obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Language Arts Education. Ms. Spratt went on to further her education by attending Alabama State University, where she received a Master’s Degree in English Education.

In addition to having a fiery passion for teaching, Ms. Spratt also has a passion for helping women, especially single mothers. She is currently working on a non-profit organization to help women “get up on their feet” by promoting education and jobs/careers that will render financial stability. Her passion stems from the realization that when you improve the way of life of the mother, you improve the way of life of the children.

Ms. Spratt is a mother of four sons. When she is not teaching, she enjoys spending time with her boys. She also enjoys reading, swimming (so relaxing), watching movies, and simply being in the company of those who exude good energy. Ms. Spratt loves to travel and goes home to Chicago every chance she gets. Also, she loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor! Now it is high time she puts the pen to paper.
