  • About Mrs. Heath
     I grew up in the country between the towns of Chrisman and Paris.  The daughter of educators, my natural ability leaned toward teaching.  I considered another direction, but, ultimately, could not fight against what came innately.
     During my student teaching at Millikin University, I married a United States sailor whom I met through a mutual friend.  After graduation, I moved to Connecticut near Groton Naval Base and taught a Head Start preschool class.  After a quick summer in Virginia Beach, we moved, again, to Georgia (just north of Jacksonville, FL) and lived near Kingsbay Naval Base.  While there, I taught third grade, fourth grade, and earned my master's degree.  The advanced degree allowed me to serve as media specialist in a school of 1,200 students.  We lived in Kingsbay for a decade.
     As the decade came to an end, we decided it would be best for our family (our daughter was three-years-old) to be near other family members.  Since I am from the area, the Crestwood position felt like a good fit.  I began my Crestwood tenure at the beginning of the 2000-2001 school year.  While at Crestwood, I have served, mainly, as media specialist, but have also taught sixth and seventh grade research and eighth grade literature.
​     I am now in my 30th year of teaching.  I am dedicated to the students who enter my classroom.  Not only do I care about their education, I care about their well-being.  It is my firm belief that all people (including young people) deserve to feel valued, feel safe, and to be heard.  My goal is to make my classroom a place they feel all of those things, and to be an ambassador for our youth.  They have so much to offer our world!
     I look forward to working with my students, and the adults in their lives, to make the school year a successful one.
