About Me

 

Pike

Hey Zizzers! My name is Stephanie Huddleston. This is my ninth year at West Plains Middle School. For the first three years, I taught Special Education in 6th-8th grade, and I am now entering my sixth year as a school counselor. Prior to West Plains, I taught Special Education at Branson High School. I love being part of the WPMS team and feel blessed to work with students through this transitional stage.

My husband, Nathan, and I have been married for 17 years. We have two energetic sons, Jackson, 12, and Elim, 10. We spend much of our free time in the gym playing basketball. I love cheering on my boys from the sideline. We also enjoy playing card and board games, camping, and swimming. This summer we discovered our love for kayaking, and we even tried our hand at white water rafting. My favorite pastime (some might say obsession) is READING. 

I am looking forward to a great year. Go ZMS!
