I am wife to Tyree Smith, a sixth grade teacher at WCMS, mother of three sons, and “Grammy” to 6 beautiful grandchildren.

My Three Sons:

Nathan is a math teacher at WCHS, married to Tesh Sims Smith who works at DeKalb Telephone Cooperative, children: Crosley and Elijah.

Alan is a science teacher at WCHS and a basketball coach at WCHS, married to Kristina Day Smith, who is a nurse
in the Birth Center at Riverpark Hospital, children: Kaylee, Jackson,and Elsa.

Ryan is teaching math and coaching at Warren County High School and is married to Candace Dunn Smith, who is an ultra-sound technician at Riverpark Hospital; child: Addison.

I began my college life at Martin College in Pulaski, TN, and then I transferred to Tennessee Tech where I graduated in January 1969. I began teaching in Smithville in 1970, but took off in 1972 to stay home with my children until they were in school.  I taught at North Elementary for one year, before going to Eastside in 1981 where I stayed until Bobby Ray opened in 1995. I have been here at
Bobby Ray since then.

I love watching children learn and seeing the excitement in their eyes as they discover new things. I have also enjoyed teaching children of some of my former students in class.
