MEAGAN BOATNER
Hello! My name is Meagan Boatner and I am so grateful and beyond excited to continue my teaching career in Kindergarten at Clarkdale Elementary. I’ve been teaching for 10 years and almost all of those have been in Kindergarten. Most of my Kindergarten experience was in Biloxi, MS. I have 2 years of 4th grade experience also, but my heart is in Kindergarten. I graduated from MSU with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. I am married to a former Clarkdale Bulldog, Clark Boatner, and we have 2 children: Case (5) and Marcy (2). In my free time you’ll find me curled up with my babies watching movies, shopping way more than I should, and cheering on any and all things Hail State! I look forward to starting year 11 being a new Clarkdale Bulldog with you and with my own Kindergarten son!
NICOLE ROSS
My name is Nicole Ross and I am thrilled to be joining the Clarkdale family as a second grade teacher! I obtained my degree in elementary education from the University of Southern Mississippi and spent 8 years teaching at Quitman Lower Elementary, where I found my love for teaching second grade. My family and I recently moved to the Clarkdale community, and I can’t wait to join the staff at Clarkdale Elementary. In my free time, I enjoy going on trips with my husband Ethan, playing dinosaurs with my son Luka, cooking, and reading.
I am so incredibly thankful for this opportunity! Go Bulldogs!
LISA BANE
