Grant Parish is my home. I grew up here, went to Colfax Elem, Dry Prong Jr High and graduated from Grant High. My children went through Grant Parish schools and my husband is an Assistant Principal at South Grant Elem. I love this community and care about the people that live here.

Since 2014, I have been serving as secretary/ bookkeeper at Montgomery High School. As a 43 year resident of Grant Parish, my husband and I have raised our children here, with grandchildren currently enrolled in our parish schools. Our community provides exceptional student support, and our faculty and staff consistently exceed expectations to address the diverse needs of MHS students. It has been and remains a pleasure to serve at Montgomery High School. Go Tigers!

GPSB has a family-like atmosphere, where you can feel the love and support not only among our school level employees, but also from Dr. Stokes and the district leaders. I have been a part of the Grant Parish school system for 11 years and I cannot imagine working anywhere else. Throughout the years, I have been provided with many opportunities to continue learning and growing my practice as an educator, which has ultimately allowed me to move into a coaching role where I get to support teachers in their mission to produce successful students. From growing up and attending school in this community to having a flourishing career here, my full circle experience with GPSB has been nothing short of a blessing!
