Welcome Back, Cyclones!  I am Mrs. Shepherd, and I will be your math teacher this year.  This year marks my 24th year of teaching and my 9th year teaching at MacArthur.  Before teaching at MacArthur, I taught at Marion Junior High School for six years and spent nine years teaching in Memphis City Schools.

I grew up in a small town in Central Massachusetts named Royalston.  This town was known for its Dairy Farms and country living.  Upon graduation from high school, I attended a two-year college where I earned an associate's degree.  I then transferred to the University of Memphis (Go Tigers Go!) and obtained my Bachelor's in Education.  I eventually went on to pursue my Master's Degree there as well.

I am married to my fabulous husband, Josh, who is a school administrator. We have two wonderful children. Jacob is 13 and headed to the 7th grade, and Sadie is 7 and headed to 2nd grade. Between their athletic activities and school, they keep us busy.  

I am looking forward to working with you this year!  Let's knock it out of the park!
