Greetings,

My name is Janet Dyal and I am an English facilitator at Phoenix Academy. I grew up in a rural area on a farm and moved to Atlanta in 2017 from the small South Georgia town of Douglas, Georgia. I graduated at Georgia Southern College with a BA in Business 1989 and began my career as a juvenile probation officer for seven years. I had my daughter, Shelly,  and became a stay-at-home mom for the next seven years. During this time, I added to my family with a son (Sage), and worked on my Masters degree in education. In 2001, I began my teaching career as a seventh grade Language Arts teacher until I moved to the College and Career Academy in 2014. I spent two years there and then moved to the Coffee County Alternative School for two years before moving to Atlanta. I was very fortunate  to be hired at Phoenix Academy where everyone there loves teaching and loves their students.
