Meet the teacher
Hi! My name is Mrs. Tiffany Pressler and I’m so excited for another year teaching first grade! More importantly, I’m thrilled to be YOUR teacher! It’s going to be a fun year full of lots of learning and new adventures and I can’t wait to see what the year has in store for us. I want to tell you a few things about me.
I was born and raised in Athens, GA. I moved to Gainesville, GA to attend Gainesville State College currently known as North Georgia University where I graduated with my degree in Early Childhood Education as well as certifications in ESOL and Reading. I began my journey at Henderson Mill in 2012 where I have been teaching first grade for the past four years. I was known as Ms. Hollis and recently changed to Mrs. Pressler after getting married in 2015! I have a wonderful husband Michael, stepson Jasper, & dog Herschel Walker who I love to spend time with when I'm not in the classroom.
I have the privilege of teaching first grade alongside a wonderful community of teachers!
I’m so excited to be your teacher this year and for you to be part of this AWESOME class. It’s going to be a great year!!
