Biography:
Hello! I am Alicia Prezzy, also known as Prezzy! I have been in Lexington School District 1 since 2005. I am a Tennessee native, so you know that means that my blood bleeds orange! GO VOLS!!
I was born and raised in TN, where I went to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, for my undergrad and graduate degrees in education! Upon completing those degrees, I moved to Georgia, where I taught fifth grade; I returned to school and earned an Educational Specialist Degree in Administration from the University of West Georgia in Carrolton, GA. After five years of teaching, I went into administration, where I continued to reach children beyond the classroom and the entire school!
I met the love of my life, Jerome, and upon marriage, he brought me to SC in 2004! We have two daughters, Hannah (16) and Hailey (14). They are both in high school at Dreher High School. Hailey is a sophomore, and Hannah is a senior!
I enjoy working out, traveling, and relaxing in my spare time. I am a huge Tennessee football fan and love date nights with my husband!
Being here at the KNOLL will allow me to continue to reach all students, parents, faculty, and staff at the Knoll!
