Welcome to my class! I am excited to begin my 24th year in the classroom. I graduated from the University of Memphis with a degree in English and from Christian Brothers University with a master's degree in Education and a master's degree in Administration. I have taught all levels of English, including on-level, honors, and pre-AP. I am thrilled to share my love of reading and grammar with my students.
I am originally from a small town in West Tennessee called Michie (pronounced like Mickey). I have been married for 28 years, and we have three amazing boys. You will hear a ton of stories about my boys. Our oldest son is an anti-matter physicist pursuing his Ph.D. in physics in Trenton, Italy. Our middle son is a senior at App State studying music therapy and the president of his music fraternity. He also plays nine instruments. Our youngest son is a student at Laney.
I love to travel, go to new places, and sometimes return to the old ones! Ask me about my adventures!
The best way to contact me during the day is through my email, tammy.shawferguson@nhcs.net. I will answer as promptly as I can.
I am looking forward to a great semester.
