Greetings, I am

Dr. Genise Evans-Fletcher,
Lead Program Facilitator of the Flex Academy

I am a Restorative Educator!

I am a native of Birmingham, AL. I graduated from Alabama State University with a B.S. and M. Ed in English Education and from Lincoln Memorial University with an Ed. S and Ed. D in Instructional Leadership.

I have served Hamilton County schools for my entire tenure teaching English at Brainerd High School, Tyner Middle Academy, and The Howard School. I am currently a Dean of Students at The Howard School, a Minority Mentor for HCEA, and a support Mentor for HCS. 

I have also participated in several cohorts through the Public Education Foundation (PEF) as a Policy and STEM Fellow and a Teacherpreneur, co-authored a curriculum for Hamilton County, and created a micro-credential for Restorative Practices through TEA.
