Welcome to First Grade! My name is Courtney Davis, and I feel so pleased to be your child's teacher this year. I am beginning my 16th year of teaching. I taught Kindergarten for 13 of those years, and I am so excited to be back to First Grade this year. Nothing is more rewarding than giving kids a great start in education. I received my undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Education from Kennesaw State, and I completed my Masters in Early Childhood Education through Piedmont College. I have been married to my wonderful husband, Robert, for 21 years. We have an active 13 year old boy named Riley, who will be in 8th grade this year. We also have a feisty 9 year old girl named Reese, who will begin 4th grade this fall. I grew up in Pickens County, and although I have lived as far away as southern California, no place is as special to me as Jasper, Ga.
