My name is Jenny Stricklin, and I grew up in Huntsville. I graduated from Lee High School with my twin brother Jeff. My older sister, Shelby, graduated from Grissom. In 2010, I married my amazing husband Heath Mahan. It has always been my dream from the beginning to teach at AAA. It is amazing to be a part of such a wonderful community of mentors, teachers, administrators, parents, community leaders, etc.

I love to teach children. I also enjoy singing, dancing, acting, and performing. I believe that teaching is the most rewarding occupation there is. It allows you to see growth in every student you meet. Every child can learn and it is my pleasure to take them as far as they can go.
