Dr. Emily Harber Williams - How To Launch A Microschool

Dr. Em is a Delta State University Statesman/Fighting Okra through and through. She graduated with her undergraduate degree from Delta State University. She earned a Masters in Special Education emphasis in Emotional-Behavioral Disorders from the University of Southern Mississippi and a Masters in Philosophy from Walden University. In the fall of 2020, Dr. Em completed her Ph.D. journey in Education emphasis in Educational Policy, Leadership and Management. Dr. Em was a Physical Education Teacher and Coach at Lee Academy in Clarksdale, MS for three years. Afterward, she moved back to her hometown of Benton, MS, and began her journey as a Special Education Teacher. Dr. Em and her husband, Matt, have been married since 2005. They have two boys. Due to her husband's change in coaching jobs, they moved to Vicksburg, MS in the summer of 2011. After being a Lead Special Education Teacher for six years in the Vicksburg-Warren School District, Dr. Em followed God’s calling to “step out of the boat”. This calling led to Dr. Em creating and developing Micah’s Mission School, Inc. while researching during her Ph.D. coursework in 2017. In January 2020, Micah’s became their own independent entity as a Mississippi Non-profit 501c3. Today, Dr. Em is the Executive Director of Micah’s Mission and Licensed Local Pastor at Bradley’s Chapel UMC. She will complete her M.Div Summer 2024 from Perkins Theological Seminary at Southern Methodist University. http://www.micahsmissionschool.orghttp://www.facebook.com/micahsmissionschool
