Hey there, I'm  Debbie Simmons and I am thrilled to be teaching Social Studies here in Hartselle.  I have been at the  Intermediate School since October 2019!    I have a degree in Elementary Education from the University of South Florida.  Go Bulls! I have taught 4th and 5th grade for several years in Tampa. I was also an Intervention teacher for 9 years. I worked with small groups in reading and math from Kindergarten to 5th grade. 

I was born and raised in Tampa and that’s where I met my husband, Jimmy. He is from Decatur. We have twins; Andrew and Samantha. Both attend Hartselle high school.  This is Andrew and Samantha's senior year!!! Our cute, yet lively, dog, Romeo, is  our third child.  As a family, we love traveling anywhere and experiencing new cultures. We have been overseas several times and love the Carribean islands.
