Hello, everyone. My name is Stephania Baggs, and I am so excited to be on staff and to be teaching at Hartselle High School this year (24-25)!  I have BS and MS degrees in Language Arts Education and 30 years of experience.  I've taught all grades throughout my career, but now focus on English 9. I love teaching ninth graders because they are new to the high school experience, and freshmen are energetic and ready to learn. It's an exciting time for them. I see this time as an opportunity to help shape not just their reading, writing, and academic skills, but also their confidence, character, and critical thinking.  My goal is to create a supportive, engaging environment where my students feel inspired to learn, to grow and to become better people.
