“The reason I went into education was to help people understand the importance of education and succeed in any way I could. I wanted to start at the bottom and work my way up,” said Bullock. “I wanted to understand what everybody’s roles were and the impact in those roles. That still helps me to this day.”
Throughout her career, it was important to her that she learned as much as possible from anyone and everyone and grew as much as she could. “I will always be a lifelong learner and absolutely love education,” said Bullock.

Durham Tech employees, community members, and Native American Tribe members volunteered as the planning committee.
