Kimberly Heath

About the Teacher

Welcome to Mrs. Heath's Spotlight

My name is Kimberly Heath. I grew up not far down the road in Senatobia, Mississippi. I graduated high school in 1986. I then went to college at Mississippi University for Women. Yes, I am a "W" girl. I got a degree in Broadcasting with an emphasis in Radio and TV. I decided that I was not happy in this field, so I went back to MUW and got a degree in Elementary Education. I guess I should have realized this earlier, because when I was a little girl I would play school and teach my dolls and the neighborhood kids. I then went on to get my Master's degree in Gifted Studies. In 2001, I became a National Board Certified Teacher. I have been teaching first grade for 23 years. The first five years I taught in Columbus, Mississippi. Then I taught fourteen years  at Olive Branch Elementary.  I joined the Overpark staff and became a Mustang 9 years ago.  So this will be my 29th year to teach. I love children and I love what I do!!!  I am so very excited and thrilled to be teaching the Gifted students at Overpark for my sixth year!!!

Now a little bit about my family. I am married and have been for 29 years. My husband's name is Kenny. He works at CVS/Health.  I have two children, one daughter, one son in law, and one son. Kendyl is my daughter. She is 25 years old.  She is married to Ethan York, who works for the Lily Company. She is currently teaching 2nd grade at Center Hill Elementary.  My son Kyle is 19 and and will be a sophomore at Middle Tennessee State University.

In my spare time I love to shop, travel, and spend time with my family.  I have a bucket list of places to visit as the years go by.  As for the shopping, well I LOVE it!!! My husband has another opinion of my shopping.
