Welcome to West Smiths Station Elementary! My name is Allison Rankin. I am a 4th grade Reading and History teacher. I moved back home after my husband's military career and I firmly believe that there's no better place to raise our children. I am a 2002 graduate of Central High School. I hold a B. S in Criminal Justice and an M.A in Elementary Education. I love the Auburn Tigers, coffee, and a good book. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family. We love camping, traveling, exploring, and attending our church. I believe that life is too short to be boring, and I implement that concept into our classroom. I love what I do, and I love that I can be a part of your child's journey. You may contact me via email at rankin.allison@lee.k12.al.us or through the school phone if needed.
