Hello!  I'm Valory Thomas, and I am your child’s sixth grade Math teacher. I am very excited to begin another school year. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a few things about myself both professionally and personally.

Although I have always wanted to be an educator, teaching is my second career. I have many years (18+) in the banking and finance industry prior to becoming an educator. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Education, with honors, from Victory University, and a Masters of Education with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction from Belhaven University.  One of my proudest professional moments was being named LMS Teacher of the Year 2019-2020. This year will mark my thirteenth year as an educator and an LMS Patriot.

I have been married to my husband Joseph,for twenty-eight years, and we have two adult children (Winston & Bethany). Our son and daughter-in-love have given us three beautiful grandbabies (Karson, Kylar & Keagan).  Our daughter is a 2022 graduate of the University of Mississippi and is a third year student (PY3) at the University of Mississippi Medical School studying Pharmacy (UMMC/UMSOP).  My husband is the Pastor of Enon Springs M.B. Church in Hernando, MS where we have served there for eighteen years. I am active in several ministries; however, my favorite is singing alto in the Mass Choir.  

Even though I enjoy my job and interacting with students, I have high expectations for them. I love to educate young minds and I am driven to ensure students grow academically.
