My name is Cindy Depreast and this starts my 30th year as a kindergarten teacher at Barkley Bridge. Prior to Barkley Bridge, I taught first grade for 6 years at Crestline Elementary and 3 1/2 years in K and 1st at Danville Elementary. I truly love kindergarten. It is a new world every day and I love every minute of it!

I graduated from Morgan County High School in 1979. I attended Calhoun and Athens State where I received my B.S. degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. I received my Master’s degree and Education Specialist Degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Alabama in Birmingham.

I have lived in Hartselle my entire life. I enjoy reading, growing plants and flowers, and going to Alabama football games. I also enjoy spending time with my niece and nephew.
