Granville Dawson

I was born in Temple, Texas to Granville Dawson, Sr., and Glennetta Williams Dawson; I was the second of five children. I have been married to my wife, Elaine, for fifty-four years. We have three children, six grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and one on the way. I attend Second Missionary Baptist Church where I serve as a Deacon. Serving God, and my family is always uppermost in my life. 

After graduating from Dunbar Meredith High School in Temple, in 1966, I attended Temple Junior College for one semester and then transferred to Paul Quinn College in Waco, Texas; I graduated in 1971 with a Bachelor's Degree. Knowing that I wanted to pursue a career in education, I attended Prairie View A&M University where I received a Master's Degree in 1980 and then returned to Prairie View in 1981 to get my Mid-management Certification in 1981. 

I worked in the field of education for forty-two years beginning with Mart ISD as a teacher and coach; Marlin ISD as a Special Education teacher, Assistant High School Principal, Middle School Principal and Director of Special Education; Assistant Principal at Waco ISD and Teacher at Texas Juvenile Justice Department in Mart, Texas; I retired in 2014. 

Beyond professional achievements, a rich personal life and my faith in God has provided stability and meaning. As a Board Member, I will continue to dedicate my time, experience, hard work, and commitment to the members of Navasota Valley Co-op.
