My name is Samantha Ford. This will be my thirteenth-year teaching Special Education. I taught 7 years in Chambers County and the last 5 years at East Smiths Station Elementary. I was born and raised right here in Lee County. I graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelor’s degree and Grand Canyon University with a Master’s degree. My partner Waymon and I have one nephew named Jonathan who loves to play baseball.  We also have two fur babies (Baby Ruth and Bandit) and two bearded dragons (Slow Poke Rodriguez and Speedy Gonzalez). In my spare time I like to craft and mud ride. I look forward to working with everyone at West!!
