The
Boss Lady in Room 139
It is incredibly
awesome to be part of such a great school system, faculty, and staff at
Brighton High School. I am originally from Elizabethton, Tennessee where
I graduated from East Tennessee State University with a B.A. in English and a
minor in Criminal Justice. I am currently working on my Masters Degree
at The University of Tennessee at Martin. Not only am I
blessed with my career; but, I am also blessed with a wonderful family.
My husband and I have three children. Although the boys keep us busy on
the baseball diamond and the basketball court, our daughter is truly the boss
of our home. In my not so
spare, spare time, I enjoy reading, shopping, and vacationing. If I can
ever be of any assistance to any student or parent, please do not hesitate to
contact me at bmcbride@tipton-county.com. Updated on 4-27-10 More 2nd Semester Reading
