Hello, I'm Whitney Blackman! I was born and raised in Decatur, but went to school in Hartselle for 3rd-12th grade. I was actually an FEB student! I received my Bachelor's in Elementary Education from UNA in 2014 and my Master's in Elementary Education from UWA in 2018. After graduating from UNA in 2014, I began my teaching career. I taught in the New Orleans area for 4 years before moving back to Decatur and teaching here! Most of my experience is with 2rd and 3rd grade. I am so excited to be part of the HCS and the FEB family! 

I am a very family-oriented person. I married my best friend in November of 2020, and together we have 9 nieces and nephews who are our whole world. We enjoy hiking, kayaking, fishing, and concerts on the weekends. I also love crafts and painting. We have 2 beautiful dogs who love to travel and explore with us. 

Again, I am so happy to be part of this family. If you have any questions or concerns for me, please feel free to contact me on Class DOJO or through email.
