Submitted by Sam Ryan on Jul 20, 2009

June Atkinson has been a dedicated education professional for the better part of her life, working for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction for almost 30 years. In 2004, Atkinson ran for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and won, becoming North Carolina’s first female in the position. Despite having a long career as an educator, she didn’t consider seeking public office until she realized the progress in education reform she could champion if elected.
