About the Teacher/Welcome Msg

I grew up in Tennessee but my heart lies in Pennsylvania. (GO STEELERS!) I love all things family, football, and friends. My husband is Mike, and have been blessed with three kids: Christopher, Maclain, and Irby. I stay busy with school, sports, and projects.  

My teaching license says, "University of Mississippi", yet I wore my Alabama gear the whole time (ROLL TIDE!).

I have been part of #TEAMDCS since 2003. I have had the privilege of being a teacher assistant, a computer teacher, a 5th-grade math and science teacher, a 4th-grade math and science teacher, a 4th-grade science and social studies teacher in a pod, and now I get the joy of teaching music. I look forward to our time together this year! 

TEACHING IS MY JAM!
