Mrs. Amy Lister
M.A. in English, University of West Florida
B.A. in English, Samford University
I'm excited to begin my twelfth year of teaching at Buford High School! In my time here, I have taught 12th Grade British Literature (before it was called by its current name, "Advanced Composition"), 10th Grade Honors World Literature, 11th Grade AP Language & Composition, and 11th Honors and CP American Literature. Prior to teaching here, I taught composition and literature courses at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
I really enjoy teaching juniors, and I love American Literature. I'm looking forward to an amazing year!
