Mrs. Leech teaches eighth grade American history. In her eleven
years at Prep she has taught tenth grade world history, served as
sponsor of the Junior High Student Council, sponsor of Junior High
Youth Legislature, and served on various committees dealing with
student life. She currently serves as 8th grade Team leader. She
was Prep's nominee for Teacher of the Year to the MPSEA during the
2002-03 school year.
A graduate of Tupelo High School, Mrs. Leech holds a bachelor of
arts degree from Millsaps College and a master's degree from Mississippi
College. Her teaching experience includes both parochial and other
private schools in the Jackson area. She and her husband are the
proud parents of three young adults and have one grandchild.
"For as long as I can remember all that I have wanted to do
was to have a family and teach school. I feel very blessed to have
been able to accomplish both of those goals. Teaching at Prep has
allowed me to discover that I love teaching the history of our country
and that I love teaching thirteen and fourteen year olds. I hope
I instill in my students a deeper appreciation of those folks who
were just like us and the sacrifices they made for our country."
