Hello! I am Emily Lopez and I teach English 9 and Honors English 9. I am a recent graduate of Samford University where I received a degree in Secondary Education: English. I have a great passion for this subject, and I appreciate how we are able to use literature to discover more about humanity. I am a native of Florence, and I'm so proud to call the Shoals area home! In my free time, I enjoy spending time at local coffee shops, hiking, and going on road trips with friends. I'm looking forward to a great year! Go Falcons!

"That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
