Meet the HEART of DSA Our 2025–2026 Faculty & Staff
At Dickens Sanomi Academy, our educators are more than teachers—they are mentors, advocates, and champions for every student’s potential.
As we begin the 2025–2026 school year, we’re proud to introduce the dedicated team that will be leading our classrooms, inspiring young minds, and nurturing a love for learning across all grade levels. From general education to our Nest and therapy programs, each member of our teaching staff brings passion, experience, and heart to their role.
Together, this team reflects our mission of inclusive education, compassionate instruction, and high expectations for all.
Whether they’re building foundational skills in early childhood, guiding critical thinking in middle school, or preparing our high schoolers for life beyond graduation, our teachers are committed to seeing every student and helping them soar.
We invite you to explore, connect, and get to know the incredible educators who make the DSA community so special.
