Greetings,

Welcome back to our 2021-2022 School Year!

I am Joyce Coffey Grant and I am the 9th through 12th Grade Business Education teacher at Holt High School. This is my fourth year teaching Business Education courses and I am looking forward to a great year preparing our students for a career in the business industry.  I taught Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) at Holt High School for two years and it was truly a pleasure teaching our 9th through 12th grade students.  I have several great things planned for the 2021-2022 Academic Year, our virtual learning is going to be a BLAST.  We will be learning how do resumes, cover letters, to complete job applications, conduct mock job interviews, learn to dress for success, soft skills, and make our students proficient in Business Technology Applications.  I am so excited to be able to prepare our students for the business world.  Courses taught this year include Career Prep, Business Finance, Business Technology Applications, and Web Base Learning Cooperative Education (Co-Op).  I have taught Personal Finance, Business Essential, Multimedia Design, Law in Society, and Health.  I am the Adviser for Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), Athletic Director, Head Girls' Basketball Coach, Auxiliary Coach for Band, Web Base Learning (WBL) Coordinator for Co-Op, and former Assistant Cheerlearder Coach. My ultimate goal is to make sure our students are college and/or career ready, while staying safe during Covid-19.

 

I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management and Administration from Stillman College, Master of Arts Degree in Higher Education Administration from The University of Alabama, and ABC Certification from Athens State College.  I possess over 20 years of experience in the educational field and finally pursued a passion to teach.  I am the proud mother of two children, my daughter, Justice Grant and son, Lionel L. Grant, III.  I am also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and love giving back to our community.  The last few years have great and this year will be greater! We are creating a new Brand for Holt High School and I am loving it.
