Lowndes High School

I am Misty Hughes and this is my 26th year in education, and my second year at Lowndes High School. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Middle Grades Education with a concentration in Social Science and Mathematics from Valdosta State University in 1997, a Master of Education in Educational Leadership from Albany State University in 2002 and an Educational Specialist in Educational Leadership from Valdosta State University in 2008. Before becoming an administrator, I taught both mathematics and social studies, I was an advisor for numerous clubs, coached tennis and cheerleading, I was the director of various programs, as well as an Instructional Coach. 

This year I will celebrate 26 years of marriage to my high school sweetheart, Matt. We have two fabulous daughters, Railey and Kenley, who continuously fill our lives with love, pride, and joy. Railey is starting her sophomore year at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Ga where she is a Biology major. Kenley is starting her junior year of high school and enjoys cheerleading, tennis, golf, and theater. 

I am thrilled to be part of the Viking family where the Crimson Creed says it all!
