Mrs. Matthews earned her bachelors degree from the University of Alabama. Her masters degree and educational administrator endorsement were earned from the University of Alabama, Birmingham.

When that relationship is based on high expectations for achievement and is individualized, all students achieve. Educators have the opportunity to shape the future one student at a time.
