The Journey of a Home EC Teacher: From High School to Central

I’m here with Miss Graves, the home EC teacher at Central. Miss Graves, have you always wanted to be a home EC teacher? Yes, actually, I have. Um, when I was in high school, I took every class that was offered in Home EC and knew when I graduated that I wanted to be a homemaker teacher. Okay. You taught at Brooks before you came here. Was it always a plan to come back to central? Yes, I’ve kind of been all over the state. Um, when I first was hired as a family and consumer science teacher, I actually worked in Birmingham and slowly made my way back up. Um, and I was at Brooks for seven years and then came back home to central.
