My name is Karlyn Smith.  I live in Griffin, Georgia with my husband of nearly 21 years and my 16 year old beautiful, autistic daughter.  The 2020/2021 school year is my 30th year of teaching, however it is my second year here at Jackson Elementary.  My first 28 years were spent in Henry County.  I will be teaching pre kindergarten this year with my paraprofessional, Mrs. Amy Lusk, and  I am very excited about it.

I love Jackson, Georgia.  I love the small town feel and the closeness of the families.  I love Jackson Elementary and everyone who works here. I am very excited to meet my students and I am looking forward to a wonderful year.
