My name is Joanie Solomon Rigney.  This is my fifthteenth year teaching in Greene County.  I graduated from Tusculum College with a BS in Elementary Education K-8/Special Education. I taught at McDonald Elementary for six years before applying for the behavior modification teacher at the Educational Center.  I have been the K-5 BEST teacher ever since.  I absolutely love my job.  Not only do I get to introduce myself as the "BEST" teacher in Greene County but I also get to see my students grow every single day.  There are no two days alike in my classroom!

 

I  have two WONDERFUL (young adults) kids named Abby and Eli.  Abby is graduating WSCC this fall with an associates in psychology.  Eli will be attending WSCC for two years then transferring to UTK to complete a degree in Agro Engineering.  I have an amazing bonus daughter, Cassie, who has joined the work force and recently moved out.  We live in Telford with our cat and three dogs but can be found in Midway quite often with my dad, Hal.
