Three members of the Marshall Academy staff were recently honored by the Mississippi Private School Association.

Diane Greer, elementary principal and guidance counselor at Marshall Academy, was recently recognized at the State Teachers’ Convention in Jackson for 25 years of exemplary service to the MPSA.

Greer began at Marshall Academy as kindergarten teacher, serving 15 years at that position. She was then promoted to elementary principal in 1998 where she continues to serve. Greer holds three degrees from Ole Miss – B.S. in home economics education, B.A.E. in elementary education, and M. ED. in curriculum and instruction.

“Ms. Greer has been both an outstanding teacher and administrator at Marshall Academy,” said headmaster Jane Hubbard.

Renee Tice was also recognized as a nominee for MPSA State Elementary Teacher of the Year. Tice has been teaching for 33 years, serving 22 years as first grade teacher at MA. Tice received her B.A. in elementary education from Memphis State University.

“She has dedicated many years to teaching our children in Marshall County, and is a very deserving recipient of this award,” Hubbard said.

Linda McKinney was recognized as a nominee for the MPSA Secondary Teacher of the Year. McKinney has taught at MA for 15 of her 16 years. She received her B.A. degree in secondary education from Ole Miss. McKinney majored in history with a minor in Spanish and English. She teaches Spanish and economics at MA. She also sponsors the student council and has served as cheerleader sponsor. In addition, McKinney was selected as a top three finalist for Secondary Teacher of the Year and was awarded a cash prize.

“Marshall Academy is proud of these outstanding educators and looks forward to many more successful years under their leadership,” Hubbard said.
