Story by Steve Nash - Special Contributor to BrownwoodNews.com When Caroline Funderburg began college at Tarleton State University, she wasn't sure what she wanted to do with her life.

"But my grandma was a math teacher," Funderburg said.

"So growing up, I always thought about teaching and then this job really kind of fell into my lap." Funderburg was referring to a teacher's aide job at Premier High School, which she took after her 2020 graduation from Tarleton.
