Alma Mater

• Let them see across the sky 
  That our banner rises high. 
  Proudly over the hill and vale, 
  May your strength, it never fail. 
  May your knowledge serve us well 
  And of excellence to tell. 
  Oh all together, raise the song 
  Of victory to sing. 
  Oh hail to thee our Alma Mater, 
  Central's praises ring!

Three years later, she began working as a special education teacher at Mount Juliet Middle School. She obtained her master’s degree from Carson-Newman University and was a middle school instructional coach for two years, serving West Wilson Middle School, Carroll-Oakland, and Tuckers Crossroads.
