About The Teacher
Hi there. My name is Mr. Steve Spires. I am a certified teacher with a Master's Degree in Educational Administration. I have been a third grade teacher for 23 years. In fact, it is the only grade that I have ever taught here in St. Tammany Parish. Honey Island Elementary has been my "home" for the past 18 years. Before that I taught third grade at Little Oak Elementary for five years when it was a 3rd-5th grade school. My original Bachelor's Degree was earned from the University of Mississippi (1982) where I majored in Public Relations and Journalism with a minor in Business. Later, I took elementary education classes from the University of New Orleans and was certified as an elementary educator by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education in 1987. I began to teach third grade in the fall of that year. A few years later, I earned my M. Ed. from the University of New Orleans in 1996. When I am not teaching at Honey Island, I am tutoring students privately, working on the next children's picture book or spending quality time with my wife and five children.
