Crestline welcomes new teachers

Four new teachers are joining the Crestline Elementary faculty this year. 

Tara Davis has five years of teaching experience and is excited to join the third-grade team at Crestline. She attended Crestline Elementary and graduated from Mountain Brook High School. She is married and has one son. Her husband’s former career as an Army Special Forces Green Beret required multiple relocations across various states over the past six years, but her family has now decided to make Mountain Brook their permanent home. 

Lori Mutert has been teaching for 11 years and is thrilled to now be teaching first grade at Crestline. A graduate of the University of Alabama, she spent her last semester of college studying abroad and teaching third grade in Sydney, Australia. She has been married for 12 years and has three children. Her family enjoys going to the beach and playing outdoors with their dog.

Marlyss Corriher’s 22 years of teaching experience make her a valuable addition to Crestline’s first-grade team. A native of Alabama, she received her bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee, and her master’s degree in education from Tusculum College in Greenville, Tennessee. She received the honor of Teacher of the Year for 2014-2015 at her former school, Yates Primary in Cleveland, Tennessee, and is now happy to be teaching in her home state.

Stephanie Jones has been a teacher for three years and is the newest member of Crestline’s special education team. Although she was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, she received both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Alabama. After completing her master’s degree in special education in 2011, she moved to Birmingham and married in July 2014. She is excited about being part of Crestline’s faculty and looks forward to seeing her students grow and learn.
