Opera Singer Teacher Wins County Honor | Atlanta News

Ebony Collier, a powerhouse opera singer and middle school teacher, just won Cobb County’s Teacher of the Year—and for good reason. She didn’t just teach chorus and theater at Tapp Middle School; she built the entire fine arts program from scratch, bringing real-world artists into her classroom to show students what’s possible beyond textbooks. Her passion for connecting with kids and exposing them to diverse careers sparked a student’s dream to become an actor—and that’s just one of the countless impacts she’s made. When she found out she’d won, tears rolled down her face as her family cheered her on. This isn’t just an award—it’s proof that when a teacher shares their whole self, they can change lives, one stage, one lesson, one future at a time.
