Welcome to Egypt Elementary, where student achievement is a priority. Hello, I am Tonya Guynes. I am from Memphis, Tennessee and a graduate of Manassas High School. I am entering into my 8th year of teaching. I taught 3rd and 9th grade in Crystal Springs, Mississippi before joining the Egypt Team. This is my 5th year at Egypt, and my 2nd year as Master Teacher.
I received both my Bachelors (Elementary Education) and Masters (Reading Education) at Jackson State University. I continued my education at Union University; there I received my Educational Specialist degree in Instructional Leadership. I have been married for 6 years and my favorite hobby is shopping.
I believe that students should be taught “How to Think not “What to Think”. My belief is that ALL students should be held to a high expectation and given a first-class education; regardless of their social-economic status, ethnicity, race, or beliefs. I am excited about this year, and look forward to serving the students of Egypt Elementary.
