Hello/Hola,

I am Catina L. Simmons-Russ! I've been a Professional Educator with the Gadsden County Public Schools for 17 years.  Prior to teaching, I also served as a ParaProfessional for 10 years. I was born and raised right here in Gadsden County and graduated from James A. Shanks High School in 1990.  I enjoy teaching and always look forward to exploring the world of English with my students each day.

I am married and have two wonderful boys, along with one granddaughter and one grand son!
