The Fellowships will allow the three teachers to attend the annual Summer Teacher Institute conducted at Colonial Williamsburg in July. Each fellowship covers tuition, registration, room/board, transportation and educational materials.

Burgess serves as the American History Gateway teacher at Youree Middle School. She holds an M.Ed. degree plus thirty additional graduate hours. In 1980 she was the Caddo Teacher of the Year.

Wolf teaches at Caddo Middle Magnet, and received an M.Ed. degree from LSUS.

Loften teaches at Ridgewood Middle School, and received her undergraduate degree from LSUS.

These fellowships for Caddo secondary teachers were first offered in 1998, and to date there have been 26 recipients. The fellowships are made possible by a grant to the International Lincoln Center from the Community Foundation of Shreveport-Bossier.
