Hello!

My name is Colleen Smith and this is my first year teaching at Shepton, and I am absolutely thrilled to be joining The Stallion Team! I previously taught at a charter school in Frisco, where I also taught English I and Yearbook. I believe English is more than reading and writing, it's a way for people to learn more about themselves and the world around them, and I cannot wait to share this knowledge with each student I encounter. 

I attended Texas State University, where I graduated in three years with a degree in Mass Communications and Public Relations. Go Bobcats! 

I also own a Border Collie named Charles Barktholomew, and a Calico named Khaleesi. They are my precious children, and I spoil them more than I probably should. 

Outside of teaching, I kickbox, write novels and short stories, and binge anime, I mean Netflix.
