She holds a Batchelor’s Degree from Lincoln University and attended University of Miami’s School of Education\, becoming one of the first two African Americans to receive a Master’s Degree in 1963 from the university. With a distinguished career in Miami-Dade County Public Schools\, she has served as a teacher\, chairperson\, assistant principal\, and in 1969\, integrated the staff of Northeast Area District Office\, Miami-Dade County Public Schools as the Assistant Coordinator of Student Services.

As a reflection of her leadership\, COPE Center South was renamed Dorothy M. Wallace COPE Center South in 1997. Being one of the “first” in many areas\, Mrs. Wallace has a legacy in integrating many clubs\, organizations\, and professional associations\, thus paving the way for other women and minorities.
