Judith Barber
Welcome to the 2023-24 school year at Pickens High School! I'm excited about making a brand-new start with the incoming freshman and helping those with a year or more under their belts continue their high school journeys.
Over the past 30 years, I have taught preschool, elementary, ESOL, and high school in various settings and contexts. This year marks my 9th year teaching at PHS.
My family and I have lived in the Jasper area for 14 years. I had 34 incredible years with my husband, Garry, until he passed away in late 2020. He and I were privileged to have five awesome children, three equally excellent "children-in-law," and three incredibly over-the-top, amazing grandchildren.
Having so many children of my own, I understand that education is the shared effort of parents and teachers. With that in mind, I want to set up a simple means of communication that I can use to contact you throughout the semester. Please join the appropriate Remind group below to help me with this.
Honors 10th: text @barberten to 81010
Honors 9th: text @barbernine to 81010
I look forward to hearing from you soon. You may respond to my texts through Remind, or you may reach me with questions, comments, or concerns by phone at 706-253-1800, ext. 419, or by email at judithbarber@pickenscountyschools.org
It’s a great day to be a Dragon!
