Hi! My name is Erica Steele. I have taught at Heritage Elementary for 16 years (7 in first grade and 9 in kindergarten). I have a great passion for teaching. My goal is to help our students reach their fullest potential. 

When I am not teaching, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family, BT, our energetic daughter, Erynn, and sweet Shih Tzu, Maxx. I am also a Veteran of the United States Marines. During my 9 years of service I was able to travel and work alongside some very awesome men and women. I hold a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Alabama A&M University and an EDs in Teacher Leadership from The University of West Alabama.
