Hi, my name is April Sturgell. I am excited to be your child’s First Grade Teacher! This will begin my 22nd  year of teaching. My husband (Todd) and I have 2 sons, Ashton and Grayson. Ashton is engaged to be married this fall, and Grayson will be beginning his senior year in college this fall. We are a baseball loving family! Both of my sons have played college baseball and that has brought many fun weekends for us over the years. We also share a love of music, golf, and the beach. Students will learn lots about my family and our dogs this year! 😆

I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music from Lee University. I have my Early Childhood Education Certification. I also have a Masters Degree in Education with an emphasis in Reading and Literacy, as well as a Specialists Degree in Curriculum and Instruction . 

I love to teach, and I have been awarded the honor of Teacher of the Year during my time here at STCE,  I was then named in the Top Five teachers in Columbia County. What an honor!   

I absolutely love teaching first grade at Stevens Creek! We will work hard and play hard while putting a love of learning and a kind classroom community first. My goal is to make learning fun and to inspire a lifelong love of learning for my students. I am excited to make this the best year yet! I look forward to working with you and your child this year. Together, we will make it a succesful and fun first grade year!
