About Me
Hi there! I’m Ms. O’Bannon, and I absolutely love teaching government and social studies at Glenn Hills High School. I believe learning is most powerful when it’s interactive and connected to real-life experiences, and I strive to make our classroom a place where every student feels welcome, valued, and inspired to think critically.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy experiencing nature, spending time with my family and reading books.
