My name is Kristina Hedgepeth and this is my first year as a Petal Panther! I am originally from Picayune, MS. In 2013, I married my best friend, Drew, and we moved to Starkville, MS for 3 years. We then relocated to Brookhaven, MS and lived there for 4 years. We have 1 daughter, Emma Leigh and she is THREE years old!

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education and a Master's Degree in Secondary Education with an edorsement in Gifted Education. I have taught Special Education for 7 years. This will be my first year as a Gifted Teacher and I could not be more excited to learn and grow with your child!

We are HUGE Mississippi State fans and are in Starkville every chance we get. I love anything maroon & white and anything Bulldogs :) We also love spending time cheering on the New Orleans Saints! **WHO DAT**

Here are a few things that I love:
