42Years and Counting!    

    I consider myself truly blessed to have been in the profession I love for 42 years!  For those reading this, who may not know me, allow me to introduce myself to you.        

     My name is Deborah Alford (I prefer to be called Debbie).  Yes, you did read correctly, I have been in education for 42 years!  I was a classroom teacher for 29 of those years, 5th & 6th grade, and I have been a principal for the last 13 years.  I love my job because I love children!  My job NEVER gets boring.  Each day is a new day filled with excitement.  I believe that teaching is the most important and most rewarding profession.  I am blessed to work with wonderful children, supportive parents, and excellent teachers.

      I  moved to Louisburg, five years ago. I have two cats, Bob and Gracie.  I made the move to be closer to my family and my church.  I have four grandchildren:  Emma, 17, Conner, 16, Nathan, 14, and Eli, 7.  They are, without a doubt, the best things in my life!  My absolute favorite things to do are:  watch Hallmark movies, watch the boys play sports, and spending time “trying” to relax!

     So...I am in the profession I always wanted to be in.  I work in a wonderful school district.  I am the principal in 2 great schools, and I live close to my church and my kids.  I try to remember how blessed I am, everyday, and I always remind the students that in school, "Every day is a new day".
