Leonna Schmidt
4th Grade ELA Teacher

Ms. Schmidt's Bio
My name is Leonna Schmidt, and I am a 4th grade teacher at Prattville Elementary School. I grew up in Alpharetta, Georgia, but I have lived in Prattville for the past 27 years. My two children, Daniel and Joanna, grew up in this wonderful community. They were my first "students" and are largely responsible for my career choice.
Before receiving an Alternative Master of Childhood Education degree from AUM, I was a classroom volunteer, substitute teacher, and paraprofessional in Autauga County. The knowledge that I gained in these various roles provided me with invaluable experience for my teaching career.
In fact, this will be my twelfth year teaching at Prattville Elementary. As a 4th grade reading and language arts teacher, I enjoy learning and growing with my students. It is amazing to witness their academic and social development throughout the school year. The students become much more responsible and independent, and PES is here to help them "SHINE"!
As we begin the 2025-2026 school year, I look forward to getting to know my new students and to creating a special community of learners. This is going to be a fabulous year. Go Lions!
