Welcome to Melissa Griffith's 6th grade Social Studies class!
Hello, and welcome to the 2023 - 2024 school year! This year begins my 24th year of teaching, and I look forward to working with you in order to support your child's education. Please know that my door is always open, and I appreciate the opportunity to get to know you and your child this year. I hope your child has his/her best year yet, and makes many wonderful memories during his/her last year here at JMS!
A little about me:
My name is Melissa Griffith, and I am a native of Pickens County. I attended Pickens County schools from Pre K until I graduated from Pickens High School, and I feel very fortunate to be able to teach in my hometown school system!
I hold both a Bachelor of Science Degree (1998) from Brenau University, as well as a Master of Arts Degree (2009) from Piedmont College, both in Early Childhood Education. In addition to those degrees, I also received my endorsement and certification in Middle Grades Social Sciences.
On a more personal note, my former (late) husband Randy and I have three grown children; Troy, Tyler, and Macey. Later in life (2016), I remarried. My husband Carl has two grown children; Cari and Trevor. Together, Carl and I share 5 wonderful adult children, and 13 remarkable grandchildren! My hobbies include kayaking, fishing, camping, and most of all, I enjoy spending time with our children and grandchildren!
Thank you for letting me be a part of your child's 6th grade year! If you ever need to reach me, you may contact me here at the school by either e-mail or at the following number.
