Welcome to 3rd Grade!

Hi, I’m Mrs. Smith! 

This is my 7th year at DES. I spent my first four years in 2nd grade and I am now entering my third year as a 3rd grade teacher. My goals for the year are for my students to foster a love for learning and build a classroom where they feel valued, loved, and inspired.

I hold a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education K-5 from TN Tech University in Cookeville. Go Golden Eagles!

When I’m not in the classroom, you can find me spending time with my family on our farm, Triple Creek! We have horses, raise cattle, and row crop.

Fun Facts

  • Farming holds a special place in my heart. I was born and raised on a family farm right here in Decherd!
  • Outdoors is my favorite place to be. I enjoy riding horses (barrel racing), farming, running, playing basketball, and kayaking.
  • My husband, Rhett, and I have three daughters. Emma being our oldest and our youngest are twins, Amelia and Nora. They all keep me busy!
