My name is Amanda Eppes. I am a first grade teacher, at North Bay Elementary. This will be my fifth year of teaching. I graduated from Bay High school in 2010. Then, I went on to Pearl River Community College and graduated with an Associate's Degree of the Arts, in 2012. From Pearl River, I went to the University of Southern Mississippi, and I graduated there with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, in 2014. I have a love for learning, and my passion is to teach children all they need to know. When it comes to teaching, I want to be able to instill my knowledge and the love of learning into my students. I also want to inspire my students to always do their best and be whatever they want to be.   Outside of teaching, I have a loving family, which I care about a lot. I am married to Clayton Eppes. I love hanging out with my family and friends, reading a good book, watching movies, and going to the beach, in my spare time.
