My name is Jessica Watkins and I am an alumnus of South Lamar School. I graduated from South Lamar in 2009 and decided to pursue a degree in Elementary Education. I attended Bevill State Community College for two years and transferred to Mississippi University for Women where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I later graduated from UAB with my Master's Degree in School Psychometry. I also completed my Educational Specialist Degree in Teacher Leadership at UWA.
I am the head volleyball coach for the South Lamar Stallions. I have been married to Andrew Watkins for 8 years and we have one daughter, Carlee. I enjoy reading, playing the piano and fiddle, and spending time with my family outside of school.
