Mrs. Tara Grimes
Hello! I am so excited to be a part of the Hurricane Family, and I look forward to being your teacher this year! I am beginning my 21st year of teaching. As a native of Rome, GA, I graduated from Model High School and attended Shorter University. I have always had a passion for learning, and my goal is to instill that love into all of my students. I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grades throughout my career. I began my teaching career in Rome City Schools. I also taught in Fayette County, Coweta County, Floyd County, and now I am beginning my new chapter in Cartersville City Schools. Along with teaching language arts this year, I will also coach the middle school girls basketball team.
I enjoy reading, swimming, and spending quality time with my family and friends.
I am married to Dontay Grimes, and we have three children: Diamond (26) Malik (20), and Luke (8). We also have two beloved pets: our cat, Mandy, who is 15 years old, and our sweet dog, Sheba, who is 16 years old. We moved to Cartersville three years ago, and I honored to be a part of a community with such a rich tradition of excellence!
