I started teaching in 2009. I taught at Powell Elementary School in Knox County from 2010 to 2018. This is my first year here at Clinton Elementary School. I have experience teaching 1st, 4th and 5th grades.

I am very excited to join the CES staff. I am teaching 4th grade English Language Arts and Social Studies. I look forward to meeting the rest of the CES staff, my students and their families. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email. (woodsd@clintonschools.org)

About Me: I was raised mostly in the Halls Community. I graduated from Halls High School in 1984. Through the church, I have worked with children my entire adult life. After working various jobs for years, I went back to school and earned by Bachelors (2007) and Masters (2009) degrees from Liberty University. Since then, I have been teaching in the classroom.

My wife (Regina) and I are the parents of four children. (Aaron 25, Kristin 23, Heather 21, and Calah 19) We love working in the church, camping, hiking, biking and playing golf.
