Hello!
I am Abbeigh George and I am elated to be your student’s fifth grade Literacy & Social Studies teacher at International Studies! This is my tenth year teaching and I have no doubt that it will be a great one! I couldn’t have asked for a better group of students to continue my career with.
I was born and raised here in Jonesboro, Arkansas. I went to Kindergarten through 6th grade at Jonesboro Public Schools. I actually attended school in the IS building under the name SAC the year before JPS transitioned to magnet schools. Just before 7th grade, I transferred to Nettleton where I graduated with honors in 2013. After completing high school, I moved to Clarksville, Arkansas- a town of about 7,000 people and much fewer stoplights- to attend the University of the Ozarks where I would begin my career of becoming an elementary school teacher. In 2016, I graduated from this same university with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, including a minor in Psychology. This degree certified me to teach preschool through 4th grade in Arkansas. I have since added an endorsement extending that license through 6th grade. I am also a certified English as a Second Language teacher. In August of 2020, I graduated with a Master's degree in Educational Leadership from Arkansas State University.
I am married to an absolutely wonderful man named Garrett! In December of 2019 he and I welcomed our first child, Isaac! In September of 2023, we welcomed our daughter, Emma! Our children are the center of our universe and the most precious souls! In addition to my human family, I have a LARGE fur family- 2 puppy dogs and 3 orange cats!
My desire to learn is what has brought me to your student’s classroom. There isn’t a day that goes by that I am not trying to attain new information. With your student’s help, I hope to continue my tradition of learning something new with every passing moment. I hope that my passion for my job is evident to you through my interactions with the students in my classroom. I believe that teaching transcends the boundaries of simply imparting knowledge to young minds. It is truly a profession that’s core lies within creating students who are eager and excited learners for the rest of their lives.
The 2024-2025 school year will be one that I never forget. Thank you for allowing your student to bless my life.
-Mrs. George
