Hi! I am Ms. Keona Griffin.  I am a certified Business and Marketing teacher.  I have worked for SPLS for 16 years.  I am a graduate of St. Louis Public Schools.  I graduated from Mallinckrodt ABI and Roosevelt High School.  I believe that education can change a person's future.  I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology from Saint Louis University and two masters' degrees from Fontbonne University (business administration) and Lindenwood University (teaching) respectively. Currently, I am pursuing a doctoral degree in education from Fontbonne University.  In addition to being a teacher, I am a licensed cosmetologist and an entrepreneur. 

Students, success is intentional.  You have to do the work.  Trust yourself. You know more than you think you know.  You are not expected to know everything from the start. Do not be afraid of mistakes.  You fail when you stop working.  Do not be satisfied with doing a task until you get it right. Be satisfied when you do that task and can not get it wrong.  There's a difference! Everyday, strive to be a better version of yourself than you were the day before.  You can do it.  I believe in you. I will encourage and support you every step of the way. 

Office Hours:  Tuesday and Thursday 8:00am-9:30am
