Julie South has been a professional educator for 13 years both in public and private school. She has experience teaching in a variety of subject areas including computers, business, marketing, and English. The past eight years, she has primarily taught English at the honors and AP level. Mrs. South has her AS degree from Columbia State with an emphasis in Mass Communication. She received her BS degree in Business Education from Middle Tennessee State University and her Master's degree from Arkansas State University in Educational Leadership. Ever a life-long learner, she continues to attend workshops and conferences to enhance her knowledge of teaching and leadership.
She is very passionate about helping struggling students. This is in part due to her having two children who are dyslexic. "I know first-hand how difficult school can be for someone who learns differently. Each child can succeed; we just need to figure out how to teach that person." This is how she approaches every student she works with.
Julie lives in Columbia with her husband Joey and their four children. Jackson (20) is studying nursing at Columbia State; Justin (18) is studying Construction Science at the University of Tennessee; Jameson is in the second grade; Murphy is in preschool. She recently left her position of Technology and Communications Director at Zion Christian Academy to get back in the classroom full-time. Currently, Julie is teaching English 2 at Columbia Central High School.
