My career in education began when I was the librarian at Elberta Middle School. During that time, I attended night school and received my teaching degree from the University of South Alabama in 1990. I was offered a first grade teaching position at Elberta Middle that same year. I have been teaching first grade ever since. I received my Master's degree from the University of Alabama in 2004.
I am married to Jody Johnson. We have one daughter, Jessica, who is married to Will Holley. They live in Auburn and work for the university. Jody and I are looking forward to having grandchildren one day, but in the meantime, we have two dogs, Natalie and Skeeter. They keep us very busy!
Mission for the Class
My mission is for each and every student to feel loved and appreciated.
