I am so excited to begin my second year as Assistant Principal at Hillcrest Elementary.  My career began with Daleville City Schools where I was a physical education aide and a fifth grade teacher.  After two years in Daleville, I took a seven year break to be a stay-at-home mom. I returned to the classroom in 2001 teaching third, fourth, and sixth grades at my childhood school, Pinedale Elementary. While at Pinedale, I also served as math coach, reading coach, and instructional partner. 

I am a proud graduate of Enterprise High School and the University of Alabama.  I received a master's degree from Troy State University and a second master's degree in Leadership and Adminstration from AUM.

I am married to Garrett Griffin, and we have two sons. Ben is a 2017 graduate of the University of Alabama and currently works in Birmingham. John Michael is a senior at the Universiy of Alabama. 

I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the beach, and shopping.  I am thankful and blessed to be a part of the Hillcrest family. I look forward to an exciting and fun-filled year. 

Go Hillcrest Tigers, Go Cats and Roll Tide!!!!
