Hello! My name is Katie Maddox and I am so excited to be teaching your child this year! This is my 8th year at Ellen Woodside and my 18th year in education. I am so excited to be teaching 4th grade!
I attended my first year of college at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. I then transferred a little closer to home and finished my Bachelors of Science degree at Faulkner University in Montgomery, Alabama in May 2003. After graduating, I subbed in Greenville County at several different schools before being hired to teach 4th grade at Monaview Elementary. I taught at Monaview for four years before returning to subbing. I subbed for two years before deciding to go back to the classroom full-time. I previously taught at Grove Elementary for 6 years. I taught 5th grade for two years and 2nd grade for five years.
