Hello My Name Is...
Melanie Garrett
I have been teaching since 2003. BES is a special place to me. It’s where I attended school and where I have taught for my entire teaching career! I received my Bachelor’s degree in elementary education in 2003 from Tennessee Tech and my Master’s degree as a reading specialist in 2015 from the University of the Cumberlands. I also obtained my certification in special education from Trevecca University in 2023. My husband, Ben, and I are the parents of three children- Rachel, Toby, and Cooper. I enjoy going to my kids’ sporting events, reading, and traveling. I love what I do and am thankful for every student that has been in my classroom. They have all taught me so much more than I could have ever taught them!
