My name is Josie Styles, and I am thrilled to be a part of the Barkley Bridge family as a third-grade ELA/Reading teacher. I graduated from Athens State University in May 2018 with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. In June 2021, I completed my Master's in Elementary Education from the University of West Alabama. In December 2022, I completed my Instructional Leadership certificate from the University of West Alabama. 

I am married to Dan, who teaches Government, Economics, and History at Madison Academy. He is also the Defensive Coordinator for the Mustang football team. Dan and I have three sons: Drew, Garrett, and Will. In September 2021, we welcomed our first granddaughter, Reagan, to the family! On October 12, 2024, we'll be adding a daughter-in-law, Anna, as Will is getting married! My favorite pastimes include cooking, spending time with my growing family, fishing, decorating, and traveling to the beach and mountains. 

Go Tigers, Go Mustangs, and War Eagle!
