Edwards graduated from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville and started her career as a mental health case manager. She began teaching in 2004 in Jacksonville, before moving to metro Atlanta in 2010. This is her fifth year at Winnona Park.
She succeeds last year’s district teacher of the year, Decatur High special education instructor and boys basketball coach Bill Roberts.
