My name is Macie Harbin, and I am so excited to be at Barkley Bridge as the gifted teacher! I attended Barkley Bridge as a child, graduated from Hartselle High, and am a product of the Hartselle City Schools gifted program. I graduated from Athens State in 2022 and study in a graduate program at the University of Alabama- Roll Tide! At Barkley Bridge, I teach gifted pull-out classes, visit younger grades for enrichment lessons, and coach robotics, Greenpower racing, and drones! My husband and I live in Madison, and we have a dog named Captain who enjoys being the center of our attention. I love to read, run, and spend time with my family and friends.

My favorite quote was said by Michaelangelo at age 87: "I am still learning." This lifelong learner mentality drives me to explore new ways to excite students about learning and help them build academic and life skills that will propel them towards success!
