STRATFORD

Thanks for visiting my page! It is my great privilege to be teaching at Stratford for my tenth year!  I’m so blessed to be in a profession I love!  I did not start teaching right out of college, because I wasn’t sure it was what I wanted to do. However, after getting the opportunity to teach music at an arts academy for the Chickasaw Nation, I discovered it is what I am designed for.  After that summer, I began ardently searching for a teaching job in the area.  Luckily only one year later, I was hired to teach at Stratford.  I love this place and the people that I get to be around every day.  I’m so grateful for an amazing bunch of students from all levels at Stratford to make my teaching job the best!  I am an alumna of East Central University with two Bachelor’s degrees in Music Performance and Theatre and a Masters of Education with a specialty in Music.  

Coach Caton and I have two daughters, Ellie, (4) who started the HeadStart Program this year and Maddie, (11) who strated Middle School this year!  We are proud to be Bulldogs!
