About Ms. Hines

My name is Stephanie Hines.  I am an 8th Grade Language Arts teacher at Griffin Middle School.  I also currently serve as the Advanced On Level teacher for 8B.  I graduated from Alabama State University and I am currently pursuing my Masters degree from LaGrange College (only one class remaining).  After teaching for three years in Atlanta Public Schools and in Griffin-Spalding County, I moved to Cobb County and began teaching at Griffin MS.  As we transition, I bring experience from an America's Choice School.  Please feel free to contact me  and I welcome you to stop by our 21st Century classroom anytime. Thanks in advance for your support and partnership.
