Hey Wildcats!

My name is Mrs. Ackerman! My teaching career began after graduating from Southeastern University (Go Fire!) with my bachelors degree in Elementary Education and minor in psychology with Reading and ESOL Endorsements. Additionally, I had the amazing opportunity to be certified in the Phonics First Orton-Gillingham Program. Some of my favorite things to do are visit the mountains and the beach with my family. I look forward to a great school year watching each and every one of my students learn and grow!
