Abby Benson
I am a passionate pre-K teacher with 15 years of experience in the classroom. I began my teaching career in 1984, but took a 26-year hiatus to raise my son before returning to the field four years ago. A proud graduate of Auburn University, I love nurturing young minds and building connections with my students. I love each one of my babies and give each one of them my very best each day. Since I am the first teacher my students will have in their educational journey, I feel it is so very important for them to love school and enjoy each day. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my 30-year-old son and my two beloved chihuahuas, who definitely rule the roost at home. I also own an antique business in Scottsboro and love antiques, auctions and estate sales.
