Business Instructor John Spillman is one of those college success stories one never tires of hearing.  John was born in Winston-Salem, and moved to Davidson County when he was in the third grade. He grew up in the Reeds and Tyro areas of the county, and graduated from West Davidson High School in 2004.

 

Then he came to DCCC.  “I attended DCCC to obtain my Associate in Arts Transfer Degree. I came to DCCC without a concrete idea of what I wanted my future to look like and left with a commitment to push headlong into the field of education. I had many excellent instructors at DCCC that were an important part of this decision, namely Dana Hatcher, who inspired me to pursue a degree in English.

 

“ In 2008, I transferred to UNC-Greensboro to major in English with a concentration in secondary education. After teaching at Lexington Senior High School for 6 years, I decided to go back to graduate school to pursue a new content area. I started attending High Point University in the Fall of 2016 to obtain my Master of Business Administration. I completed the program in 1 year, and currently teach graphic design at Lexington Senior High School. I wanted to try out a new discipline and further cultivate the leadership skills I developed during my initial tenure as a teacher. Ultimately, as I alluded to above, I greatly appreciate the inspiration and quality of instruction that I received at DCCC, and this reason is why I wanted to finally become part of its faculty and school community.
