Hello! I'm Tabatha Griffith, and I'm in my 8th year teaching Pre-K at NTxCA. Overall, I’ve been dedicated to early childhood education for 12 years. My journey began as a Pre-K paraprofessional with HEB ISD in 2009, shortly after graduating from UNT. I completed my master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Oklahoma Christian University in 2024. I earned my EC-6th and ESL teaching certifications in 2015.
Originally from a small town in Oklahoma, I’ve spent most of my life in Texas. I currently live in Roanoke with my 11-year-old daughter, Zoey, our hamster, Chip, and our cat, Nona (short for Wynonna). My bonus daughter, Ava, is 18 and attending college at Saint Anselm in New Hampshire.
In my free time, I love experimenting with my Cricut, diving into arts and crafts, reading, enjoying live music, playing video games, catching up on my favorite TV shows, and having fun family game nights.
