Hello!  My name is Mary Elizabeth Towns!  This is my fourth year teaching and my third year at Tuscaloosa County High!  I am so excited to be back at County High working with your students.

I’m originally from Oneonta, Alabama.  I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham with a Bachelor’s degree in high school education with a concentration in general social sciences in April 2019.  I graduated from UAB with a Master’s degree in high school education in August 2020. I hope to return to school soon to pursue another degree. 

In my free time, I read quite a bit. I read lots of genres, but I tend to focus on historical topics or romance.  I can also be found watching a new show on Netflix or Disney.  I love music, and I have played an instrument my entire life.  I sing in the choir at my church as well.  I am an only child, so I spend quite a bit of time with my large extended family. 

I currently teach AP government and politics, AP macroeconomics, advanced government, and advanced economics at TCHS.  I also serve as an SGA advisor.  

I look forward to working with each of you and getting to know each of you! I’m excited about this school year, and I'm excited about being at Tuscaloosa Country High School! Go Wildcats!!
