Hello. I am Mrs. Ard and this year will be my ninth year as an educator. I currently teach first grade and I have also taught third grade. I graduated from Middle Georgia State University with my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood/Special Education and have taught at Hilltop ever since. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two children and our dog. I am truly looking forward to another fantastic year at "The Top!"
