Allison received her bachelor’s degree in Business Education from the University of Georgia and her Master’s degree from the University of North Georgia, She received a Specialist degree in Instructional Technology from Valdosta State University, and her Doctorate in Teaching and Learning is from Liberty University.

Allison said she looks forward to working with Mrs. Brent Tuck, the Principal of North Habersham Middle School, as well as “an incredible staff about whom I’ve heard amazing things.”

Habersham County Schools’ Superintendent, Matthew Cooper, said “Dr. Allison’s leadership experience as a department head and her extensive experience as a middle school teacher make her an excellent choice as the new Assistant Principal at North Habersham Middle School.”

Editor’s Note: Dr. Allison first came to the attention of many of our Now Habersham readers through a guest column she wrote back in April about her son, Mason. Her column sparked an online call to show respect and appreciation to cops. You can read about it here Mason and Mom Cop Challenge…and here Mason and Mom Cop Challenge makes it to San Francisco
