✨2008 Inductee | Dr. Donnie Breedlove

Dr. Donnie Breedlove, a 2008 African American Education Archives and History Program Hall of Fame inductee, devoted 39 years to education. Born in Austin, Texas, she graduated from the segregated Littig High School in Travis County. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Huston-Tillotson University, a master’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin, and a Doctor of Education from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Dr. Breedlove made Dallas history as the first female high school principal in the Dallas Independent School District, appointed to lead A. Maceo Smith High School. A trailblazer throughout her career, she was often the first selected for key leadership roles within the district.

In 1966, she became one of the first three African American teachers to integrate school faculties and the first African American faculty member at William L. Cabell Elementary School. Another first was her assignment as the staff development specialist at Paul L. Dunbar Community Learning Center.
