I am a native of Decatur, Alabama.  I am married to Keith Williams, with whom we have four awesome children, and several amazing grandchildren.  I believe in the value of family and education.  I believe that time is the only non-renewable resource!

 Expectations: 

Because my classroom is a place where opportunity meets inspiration, then:

1.  stay actively engaged from bell-to-bell. Keep conversations centered around learning subject matter.

2.  be accountable for your actions, because behavior shows up in expectations.  Do you expect be responsible or not?

B.  eliminate excuses!

3. either we win or we learn from our mistakes.
