Hello friends! My name is Mrs. Dukes and I am a fifth grade teacher at David Perdue Elementary. I am excited to start my 10th year teaching here in Houston County! I graduated with my associates and bachelors from both Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and Georgia Southwestern. I have taught 5th grade and 3rd grade in both Tift and Houston county. Teaching and learning is my passion. Whenever I am not teaching, I love spending time with my little girl, hanging out with my pup Louie, reading, traveling, and eating delicious cuisine! "Together we can" build a classroom community where everyone feels welcomed and can reach their full potential!
