Mary Maxwell is deeply passionate about learning and personally desires to grow intellectually, artistically, and spiritually. Not only is she a life-long learner, she is also dedicated to being an inspiring teacher who makes a difference in young peoples’ lives.

            She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from APSU in 1987. She worked in the film, video, and multi-media industry for fifteen years. Five years into her career she took a two-year sabbatical and served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Poland as a teacher. It was then that she discovered she truly enjoyed teaching and mentoring teens.

            In 2004, she decided to make a career change and went back to university to get her teaching certification and received her Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from TSU in 2006.

            Her personal interests include traveling, all things outdoors, reading, dabbling in art, and studying the bible.
