Administrative Team

Welcome to Lewisburg High School.  I have had the pleasure of being a part of LHS since the day it opened.  In my first 5 years at Lewisburg, I taught world history and coached football and soccer.  I also served as Athletic Director.  In June of 2011, I was selected to be an assistant principal at LHS. 

I am proud to say that I am a product of DeSoto County Schools having graduated from Southaven High School in 1997.  After graduation, I attended Mississippi State University where I earned a bachelor of science degree in education.  My first teaching job was at Armstrong Middle School in Starkville, MS where I taught 8th grade U.S. History and coached varsity football.  I left Armstrong in the Spring of 2002 to pursue further education at Northwestern State University.  Here I studied Sports Administration and served as a graduate assistant football coach and taught Health and First Aid.  After 2 years at NSU, I returned to DeSoto County to teach at Horn Lake High School.  In the summer of 2005, I was offered a position to coach running backs at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.  While at HSU, I made the realization that working with teenagers is where I was supposed to be, so I jumped at the chance to return to DeSoto County to be a part of Lewisburg High School.  While working at LHS, I also earned my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Arkansas State University.  

I believe that education is important to the success of individuals and to the success of our society as a whole.  I feel that what a high school should teach students can be summed up in four simple things.  The first thing I think schools should do for students is to teach them how to write effectively.  The second thing I believe that schools should do is teach students to read and to help them fall in love with reading.  The third thing I believe that schools should do is teach students how to reason.  The fourth thing I believe schools should do is to teach students how to relate with other people.  If we teach our Patriots how to do these four things then they have a great chance at being successful. ​

Hello students, parents, family and friends.  Welcome to my page.

Being a life-long DeSoto County resident I am proud to work and give back to my community.   My parents chose Hernando as their home so I attended grades K-12 in Hernando.   My husband and I believe in DeSoto County so much that we have chosen to raise our children here as well.

After graduating from Hernando High School in 1996, I obtained my Bachelor of Business from the University of Mississippi.  Unhappy in the business world, I  decided to pursue my dream of being an educator.  After returning to school, I began teaching at Olive Branch High School in 2002. Being certified to teach Business, Social Studies and Math I taught a plethora of courses during my 10 years in the classroom.  I obtained my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Ole Miss in 2006.  After our second child, I decided to return to school to obtain a Masters in Educational Leadership, which has given me the great opportunity to work at the best high school in the state of Mississippi, Lewisburg High!

I now proudly serve as your Assistant Principal at Lewisburg High School where I hope to continue to have a positive impact on students’ academic achievements.

Go Patriots!

I am a native Alabamian and have become a proud 30-year resident of Hernando, Mississippi. Passionately, I desire to make our community better one child at a time. With that in mind I began my career with DeSoto County Schools as receptionist and attendance clerk at Hernando Middle School in 1997 while completing my biology degree and teacher certification. After receiving certification, I quickly began my teaching career at Hernando Middle School. In addition to teaching, I served as head volleyball and boys’ and girls’ basketball coach for 10 years. My desire for educational leadership in administration served as platform for my opportune nine-year journey as a DCS assistant principal in the following schools, Southaven Intermediate School, Southaven Middle School, Hernando Hills Elementary School and presently Lewisburg High School. I received my bachelor’s degree in Biology at University of Mississippi, Master’s degree in Educational Leadership at Cambridge College, and Educational Specialist degree in Educational Leadership-Special Education Director at Arkansas State University. I am married to Minister-Brother Terry D. Wallace Sr. we have three children Terry, Justin, and Audreauna all Hernando High School graduates, daughter-in -law Shirell Wallace Olive Branch High School graduate and two grandchildren Zanterryion (Hernando Schools student) and Genesis. Our family is generationally DeSoto County Schools vested-#TeamDCS. As a family we diligently serve and worship at West Oak Grove Church of Christ in Hernando.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity and excitedly look forward to serving with the Lewisburg Administrative Team as we serve the students, teachers, and parents of the Lewisburg community.
