Ms. Shipley’s Webpage I came to Brighton High School in 1999, and I began my tenure with the Tipton County Schools in 1994. This is a wonderful place to teach! I attended both Rhodes College and University of Memphis. My B.S. is in French and English, and my M.S. is in general counseling. I have lived in a number of places, including France, New York, and the Panama Canal Zone; however, I claim Memphis as home. I have two grown sons and five grandchildren. My hobbies are reading, plays, movies, traveling, and music. My summer was quite exciting! Our church choir went to Ireland this past summer, and we sang in centuries-old cathedrals.
Welcome to my English class!! Bienvenue, mes etudiants de francais!!!!!
