Debbie Powell M.Ed
Director of Marketing and Communications
I am from Biloxi, MS. I received Bachelor’s degrees in Special Education and Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi. After several years in Special Education, I transitioned to the general education classroom teaching fourth grade. I went on to complete my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education at William Carey University. With 27 years as an educator, I have worked with all grades K-12 in some capacity.
In 2024, I was awarded the Leo W. Seal Innovative Teacher Grant as well as retired from the Biloxi Public School System. Now, I am thrilled to be a part of Lighthouse Academy and to continue my purpose and passion for teaching children.
When I am not working, I enjoy reading a good book or camping with my family.
