Zebulon Middle School music teacher Calla Wright and her husband, Gerald, were recognized by the News and Observer as Tar Heel of the Week in the Jan. 13 newspaper.
The Wrights were recognized for their efforts in the community and with other parents in advocating for their children in the school system. They've established the Coalition of Concerned Citizens for African American Children which routinely brings together parents and school administrators to discuss meeting children's needs.
