After 21 years of teaching at Reeltown High School, Stacy Monroe is stepping into the educator certification section of the teaching and leading unit at the Alabama Department of Education.   

Monroe said in this new role, she is shifting from helping students to helping teachers. Monroe first saw the job posting through a newsletter the Alabama Department of Education sends out to teachers. She said she applied, not thinking she would get the job, but when she did, it was nothing short of a surprise.
