Hello My Name Is...
Ellen Doss

I am married to Bryant Doss; we have two children, Maggie and Ben. Maggie is a Sophomore at Troy University and Ben is an eighth grader at Hayden High School. My husband is a native of Hayden, and I grew up in Hamilton, Alabama. I attained my BS in Elementary Education from Auburn University and my Masters in Elementary Education from UAB. I have been teaching First Grade at HPS for the past thirteen years. I truly love teaching and couldn't imagine a more rewarding and fulfilling career. I love to read! I remember to this day book characters "coming to life" as I listened to my teachers read aloud to the class. I hope to instill a love for reading that my students can carry with them for life.
