Welcome
Salvē! I am so excited to be teaching at Horn Lake High School! This is my 22nd year to teach and my 14th year at Horn Lake. I love teaching, and I am excited to have a new group of students interested in Latin and Mississippi Writers this year!
I took 2 years of Latin in high school, and then I minored in Classics with an emphasis in Latin while an undergraduate at Ole Miss. I was an English major and took several classes that focused on the writing of Southern authors. I continued my studies at Mississippi University for Women where I received a Master of Arts in Teaching degree.
I am
married to my high school sweetheart. Mr. Jolly is an attorney in Hernando, and we have two children: Ben, who
is in 9th grade and Emma, who is in 6th grade. We also have two cats, Shadow and Boo! My hobbies outside
school include exercising, reading, and cooking.

I moved to Philadelphia, MS, in 2005, and worked as a classroom English tutor at Choctaw Central High School, the high school operated by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. In 2006, I began working for Neshoba Central Middle School, where I was an English teacher and a Special Education teacher. I started working at Horn Lake High School in January 2010. I taught Special Education Math for one semester. For the past 13 years, I have taught English and Latin. |
