Get to Know Our Lowndes County Schools Teacher of the Year, Amy Whitehead! You heard her name announced at Convocation, but there’s a lot more to know about the educator behind the honor.
From helping students discover that they really can do math to coaching on the soccer field, serving her community and even helping local pets, Mrs. Whitehead has spent nearly two decades making an impact at Lowndes High School.
📐 Current Role: Math Instructional Lead Teacher at Lowndes High School
🎓 College Alma Mater: Valdosta State University (Bachelor's) & Thomas University (Master's)
🏫 Viking Since: She completed her student teaching at LHS, then came back as a teacher and never left!
➗ Subjects Taught: Algebra through AP Statistics
💡 Teaching Philosophy: The answer matters, but so does the process it takes to get there.
⚽ Beyond the Classroom: Ninth-Grade Girls Soccer Coach, Class Sponsor, Friends Fur Life Sponsor, Shop With A Viking, etc.
Whether she’s breaking down a difficult math problem, encouraging a student to try again, coaching a young athlete, or helping students find a place where they belong, Mrs. Whitehead believes growth happens when students are willing to take that next step.
And after all these years at Lowndes High, she still knows she landed exactly where she belongs:
“This is exactly where I am supposed to be.”
Congratulations again to our Lowndes County Schools Teacher of the Year, Amy Whitehead!
