Hello! Welcome to JMS! My name is Melissa Griffith and I am so excited to have the opportunity to get to know you and your child this year! I am a native of Pickens County and I have lived here all of my life. Pickens County is a great place to be! I began my teaching career in 1999. I obtained my Bachelor of Science Degree from Brenau Unitersity in 1998, and my Master of Arts Degree from Piedmont, College in 2009. I have three grown children that attended Pickens' Schools and now have grandchildren attending too! I just want you to know my door is always open and I will strive to make sure your child has the best 5th grade year ever! Feel free to contact me anytime!
