Hello! This is my fifth year in 5th grade as the Math and Science teacher at SES. I have previously taught at JHS as the agricultural education teacher and elementary education at Daughtry Elementary School. I am a 1996 graduate of JHS and obtained my BS from Mercer University and my Masters in Education from Valdosta State University. I graduated in May 2022 with an Education Specialist degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Piedmont College. My daughter, Savannah, is a 2016 JHS graduate and a 2020 UGA graduate. She now lives and works in western Kentucky. She is expecting her first child, so before the end of the school year I will be a grandparent!!!  

I do have more exciting news to share with you. Frank and I got married in July! I am working on changing my last name from Austin to Burris. Be on the lookout for those changes in the coming months.

I encourage all parents to join my Remind for quick and easy communication via text.
