A large part of choosing Southern Boone, “Is this is where we wanted to be and I enjoyed my student teaching here,” said Griffith. “It reminded me a lot of my own hometown.”

Originally from Maysville, Mo., Griffith attended the University of Missouri, Columbia to pursue a degree in journalism.

“When I graduated, I wanted to be in journalism and after a year in the field, determined it wasn’t for me. I’ve always enjoyed coaching youth and decided education was more up my alley,” said Griffin.
