Hello wonderful people! My name is Bliss Garrett. I am proud to be a teacher at Journey Middle School, home of the Jaguars!

I grew up in the Tuscaloosa area where I attended Paul W. Bryant High School. I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2016 with a degree in Theatre. After spending time working in the Birmingham area, I decided to pursue another degree. I moved to Florence, Alabama, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Education with a concentration in Mathematics from the University of North Alabama. So Go Blazers and Roar Lions all day, every day! 

I am very close to my family. My husband, Jake, is an electrical engineer in the Huntsville area. He is my rock. My mother is a United States Navy veteran of whom I am very proud. GO NAVY!!! During my free time, you can find me hanging out with my pets, reading, or playing Nintendo Switch. I also really enjoy all things breakfast, especially cooking it. I always have fun at sporting events such as baseball and hockey. 

I started my career in Madison City Schools at Liberty Middle School where I taught Design and Modeling, Computer Science Essentials, and CodeSpace during the second semester of the 2022-2023 school year. During the 2023-2024 school year, I taught Accelerated Math 7, Math Lab, and Design and Modeling. This school year I am happy to have made the transition to teaching 6th grade math (Math 6 and Accelerated Math 6) at JMS!

I am the club sponsor for Girls Who Code. Anyone interested in joining is welcome at any time! We will meet on Tuesday afternoons from 3:30-4:30 in room 335. Our first meeting of the year will be held on September 10, 2024.  

If I could express anything to my math students, it would be that I am in your corner on this math adventure. Even if you are not a math person, I aspire to help you gain more confidence in the subject. I look forward to teaching you and hope you have an enjoyable experience at Journey!
