Meet Ms. Tiffany Carr
E-mail: Tiffany.Carr@sfasu.edu
Welcome to first grade! My name is Tiffany Carr, and I'm so excited to be joining the SFA Charter School family. My husband and our three boys have recently moved to Nacogdoches, and we are so excited to be part of this community. I graduated from the University of Arkansas with an early childhood education degree in 2008. I have taught prekindergarten, kindergarten and second grade.
Most recently, I've been a stay-at-home mom to my boys. I'm beyond excited to be back in the classroom and have the opportunity to invest in my students’ lives. I love spending time with family and friends and doing anything outdoors. My goal for my classroom is to create a safe place for building relationships and a positive learning environment. I can't wait meet you and your child and get this year started.
