Education
I graduated cum laude from Auburn University Montgomery with my Bachelor's degree in Childhood Education. I received my Master's degree in Elementary Education from Troy Montgomery.
Experience
- Pine Level Elementary School (2007-2016)
- Daniel Pratt Elementary School (2016- present)
My name is Shawna Short. I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, Matt Short, who is a PE teacher at Prattville Elementary School. We have three wonderful children, Reece (15), Marley Kate (14), and Sarah Collins (8) who keep us VERY busy!
I absolutely love teaching! There is no greater feeling than watching a child grow and learn! We are going to have a fabulous year!
A few of my favorite things include: Chick-Fil-A, Los Mayas, and Polished Nails :)
