I graduated from Mars Hill College (now Mars Hill University!) in 1995 with a double major in Home Economics and Fashion & Interior Merchandising. I taught for eight years, took an eight-year break to stay at home with our boys when they were small. I have been in the classroom since the fall of 2013. My husband is Coach Darren Ponder and we have 3 boys; JJ, Drew and Grae. We spend a lot of time on the ball field when we aren't at school! I am also the adviser for FCCLA - Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America. It is the only student organization that focuses on the family before anything else. If we build strong, healthy families then everything else will fall in place easier!
