many highly influential and
supportive teachers and
administrators through
out my career with the
Houston County Board of
Education,” said Powell.
During her second year
at WRMS, she began by
taking one class at Macon
State College. That was
the last time she ever took
just one class. She loved
school and transferred to
and earned her Bachelor’s
Degree in Education from
Mercer University in 2000.
After three years at
WRMS, Powell helped to
open FMMS as an admin
istrative assistant, while
still attending college. In
August 2000, she began her
first year teaching seventh
grade math at Feagin Mill
Middle School. However,
Powell could not stay away
from continuing her own
education. After just a
year of teaching, she went
back to school and received
her Masters degree in
Educational Leadership
from Georgia College and
State University.
This year is Mrs. Powell’s
seventh year teaching math
at FMMS.
“My favorite part of the
day is when I have a class
room full of students and
learning is taking place,”
she said. “The most reward
ing is watching learning
occur everyday.”
She continuously looks
for ways to make learning
more exciting and as up to
date as possible for her stu
dents. She said she never
teaches the exact same les
son plan from one year to
the next.
Powell was Teacher
of the Year for FMMS
for the 2005/2006 school
year and was a Houston
County Teacher of the Year
Finalist.
“I was thrilled at being
selected as teacher of the
year by my peers,” she
said..
Not only does Powell have
her plate full with her newly
appointed position, and her
