A special education teacher at Houston Elementary School was recently named one of the 2025 McDonald’s Outstanding Educators.
Representatives from Houston McDonald’s presented Dawn Williams with a gift card and certificate in recognition of her exceptional commitment to students and the community.
“It’s an honor to recognize Dawn for the incredible work she does every day,” said Andi Hilburn-Vaini, owner/operator of Houston McDonalds “Teachers like her make a lasting difference in the lives of their students and in our communities.”
Now in its sixth year, the McDonald’s Outstanding Educators Awards program celebrates teachers who demonstrate exceptional leadership, creativity and passion in their classrooms. Each honoree receives a gift card and certificate as a token of appreciation for their hard work and positive impact on students.
Since the program began in 2020, local McDonald’s restaurants across the area have awarded 337 teachers with $52,700 in cash to recognize their dedication.
