Tracy's Story
Life
When I graduated from high school in '92, the last thing I wanted to do was to become a teacher. This probably stems from the fact that nearly everyone in my family is in education -- mom's a principal, dad's a superintendent, aunt's a coordinator at the state level, granddad was an ATC instructor-- SO, I went to college at JD and then USM Gulf Coast and ended up with a degree in psychology and a minor in business. Since the whole working-with-mental-patients thing was not very appealing, I focused on IO psychology and went into human resources, working at casinos in the meantime.
Eventually I ended up taking a position with Kelly Services, where they had just begun a new program called "Kelly Educational Staffing", and they needed a supervisor who had some experience. Hm.

So with mom's blessing, and some of her money, I left my good-paying job to be a sub while I went to work on my certification and my master's degree. After subbing long term at Michel and Fernwood, I got my first teaching job at Nichols Junior High teaching English I (9th), Mythology, and Short Stories. I now teach 11th grade English Accel/College Prep and journalism (a.k.a. yearbook adviser) at Biloxi High School. I met Jeff, my husband, when I accepted the position at BHS; he was the previous yearbook adviser. He likes to joke that he tried to get rid of yearbook, but got me instead! ;)
