Greetings Lyon Family and Community,

              My name is Ms. Shontrice Garrett and I am pleased to serve as the Assistant Principal for the 2023-2024 academic school year. This is my 11^th year in education. I began my career as a teacher in Jackson, Mississippi before relocating to St. Louis, Missouri. Throughout my career, I have served as a Classroom Teacher, Tutor, Athletic Coach, Instructional Coach, and New Teacher Mentor.

              My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (Jackson State University), a Master of Art in Teaching (Jackson State University), and a Master of Educational Administration K-12 (Missouri Baptist University).  I have known since second grade that I wanted to become a teacher and serve as a Change Agent in the Field of Education.

              By being a lifelong learner, I intend to be an example to others that learning never stops. My goal for the 2023- 2024 academic school year is to continue to provide a supportive climate and culture for both students and teachers. I look forward to interacting with each of you this school year!

Kind Regards,

S. Garrett

Ms. S. Garrett, Assistant Principal
