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!
