Hello!! My name is Felicia Phillips; this is my second year as principal of Brookhill Elementary. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know all of the students and teachers of Brookhill and look forward to another great year! Before I came to Brookhill, I taught in a several different schools doing several different things. I started teaching twenty-one years ago at East Limestone High School in Limestone County. I taught 7th through 12th grade English for fifteen years. While there, I taught regular English, honors English, advanced placement English, and humanities. During that time, I received my master's degree in secondary education and loved working with that age group. Around year 14, I became very interested in helping kids with reading difficulties and decided to become a reading specialist. As a result, I went back to school to pursue that certification. When I completed the coursework, I went in search of a reading specialist/coach position. I moved to Madison City and worked there two years in both the regular English classroom and the alternative school setting at Bob Jones High School and Discovery Middle School working primarily with struggling readers. At the end of the second year, I was offered a position at Athens Intermediate as the building reading coach. I worked at the Intermediate School for three years before coming to Brookhill. I feel that this is my new home, and I plan to stay for awhile. At this point in my life and my career, I absolutely love working in an elementary setting and enjoy coming to work every day! I am married to Barry Phillips, and we have two sons, Colby and Hayden. Colby will be starting college in the fall at Freed-Hardeman University majoring in Bible and history; he will be playing soccer and running cross-country there. Hayden is 15 and will be in the 9th grade. He loves baseball and ATVing. Education Biography - 1988 B.S. Athens State University Secondary Education/ Lanuage Arts
