8th Grade

 Bold, Respectful, Intelligent, God-Fearing, Humble, Talented 


Hello 8th-grade families! My name is Aquilla Harris and this will be my second year here at DNA as the 8th grade teacher. I am excited to be a part of the DNA family. A little about me... I am a proud native of Chester, PA. I was a preschool teacher for 10 years and a long-term substitute teacher at Chester Charter School. I attended Chester High School and West Chester University.  I am currently enrolled at Wilmington University. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, baking, and creating new recipes.
