Welcome to 5^th grade!  My name is Traci Eplin, and I am so very happy to have you in my class this year.  I am life-long resident of Jackson County and a product of the Pascagoula-Gautier School District.  An Honors Graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi, I hold a degree in Elementary Education K-6^th grades as well as 7^th-12^th grades with highly qualified areas in Reading and History.  I have been teaching at SRA for 13 years. 

I reside in Gautier with my husband of 25 years, Russell, our 24-year-old son, Bragg and our 13-year-old daughter, Ella Rhea (who attends GMS).  In my free time, I read, enjoy cooking, thrifting, repurposing unique finds, and I absolutely love to travel!  I also enjoy football at the local (Go Gators!), college (SMTTT!) and professional levels (Who Dat!)

I look forward to getting to know you this year!
