Bio
My husband and I both work here at the high school. We have two young daughters who keep us very busy. I am an avid SEC college football and softball fan, but my favorite team of all time is obviously The Alabama Crimson Tide (Roll Tide Roll)!
I absolutely love working with students. Seeing the students put their heart and soul into their work and then reap the benefits of that productive struggle are what makes my job worthwhile. I truly cherish the connections I am able to make with each student in the pursuit of their goals.
I am easiest to reach via email. My email address is: andrea.forrester@acboe.net
I look forward to an outstanding school year!
