Hi! My name is Dalia Gorham, I teach 3rd grade at Samuel B. Huey School.  Huey is located in West Philadelphia and is part of the School District of Philadelphia. I have been teaching for 9 years. It is my hope that all of my students become independent thinkers and be successful in all that they do. The most pressing issues/obsticles in my classroom is the wide range of abilities.

HI! My name is Dalia Gorham, I teach 3rd grade at S.B. Huey School in West Philadelphia.  I have just completed my 7th year with the School District of Philadelphia and my first year as Lead Teacher.  I am a proud parent of a wonderful 7 year old girl.  Being a parent of a student in the Philadelphia School District only serves as more motivation to enhance educational practices in our schools.  I have a strong sense of loyalty and dedication to my students and school community.
