Mrs. Laura Hester

I am originally from St. Louis, Missouri. I have lived in the Huntsville area since college. My husband, Chris, and I were married in October 2004. We have two children, Luke and Abby. We also have a golden retriever named Daisy. I enjoy teaching, reading, exercising, watching St. Louis Cardinal baseball games, and spending time with my family and friends. 

The best word to describe me is grateful. I am grateful for my husband and children. I am grateful for my parents and extended family. I am grateful for my church and to have the opportunity to be an active member. I am grateful to be a part of the Columbia Family. I am grateful for the opportunity to be your child's Kindergarten teacher.

I have taught Kindergarten at Columbia Elementary since the school opened in 2004.
