About The Teacher
Greetings parents and students! My name is Courtney Henderson. I come from a family full of educators. I was a substitute teacher for three years following high school graduation in 2005. After graduation, I attended Wallace State for a year, where I completed an Associates in Science degree. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Athens State University in May of 2008, where I served as Junior Class President, Founder's Queen, and Ms. Athens State. I was also a member of the Student Government Association and Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society in education. I am presently working on my Masters in Elementary Education at the University of West Alabama. Last year, I taught 5th grade here at East Elementary. I could have not asked for a more wonderful first year as a full-time educator. I enjoy playing classical piano, reading, and writing as often as possible. I am thrilled to be teaching at East Elementary and I look forward to another school year full of many successes!

Mission
All students will be challenged to succeed academically. Academics will be our main focus; however I also recognize the importance of teaching manners and respect that will benefit my students throughout their education and future careers. By earning each other's respect, we will form a strong classroom community from which all will benefit! Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much! - Hellen Keller
