Amy Webb
Arlington High School
Many teachers begin their career path going straight into a school. For Amy Webb, she did not originally plan on being involved in the classroom. Amy Webb is the newest English teacher at Arlington High School.
Amy Webb began the first 20 years of her career in the finance industry, working and eventually becoming a Credit Union Manager. “I decided to change direction, I went into school finance and school business and then decided I wanted to move into the classroom.” This is Mrs. Webb’s third year of teaching. Mrs. Webb explained that she started teaching to give back to students,
I have been given a lot of opportunities over my lifetime by a lot of adults…so many people influenced me over the years. I wanted to give back some of what I feel that I got from them.

Mrs. Webb attended Mississippi State University, Northwest Mississippi Community College, and University of Tennessee at Martin. She earned her Associate’s degree in Accounting, her Bachelor’s in Business Administration and Marketing, and Masters of Science and Education.
Mrs. Webb is a passionate individual, and it translates into her 11th grade English class at Arlington. She loves reading and hopes that it feeds into each student. “I hope all of my students learn to love reading a little bit more than they did when they started school this year. I hope that they reach the goals they have set for themselves most importantly, because my goal is not a student’s goal. I am very passionate about kids being successful. I want to make sure that passes onto kids.”
If Mrs. Webb could teach her students one thing, it would be “Always do your best. In whatever it is you’re doing, always, always, do your best.”
