My name is Valerie Tippett. I am originally from Illinois. Me and my family moved here in 2000. I have a husband, two daughters, and four grandchildren. I have a B.S. degree in Business Administration from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, Illinois, and a M.A. degree in Counseling at Prairie View A & M at Prairie View, Texas. I am EC-4 and 4-8 generalist certified. I am so excited to be with second grade this year. I am looking forward to forming meaningful relationships with your children, and watching their amazing growth that they will achieve.
