Hello, my name is Toni Spinks and I will be teaching ELA for 6th, 7th grade along with 7th grade Science and 8th grade Quest for Success (formerly Journey to Careers) here at CPA. This my fourth year as part of the CPA family and I must say I love it. I taught in Catahoula parish for 15 years, every grade from 5-9 at some point. I graduated from ULM (formerly NLU) in 1991 with a degree in Home Economics and a minor in marketing. I received my teaching certification from Louisiana College in 2002. I have been married to Greg Spinks since 1991 and we have two children Sidney (21), currently a student at Northwestern State University, and Paden (17), currently in the 12th grade at Monterey High School. I look forward to a rewarding year with many new adventures.
