A dedicated educator and leader, Bynum has been an integral part of the Reidland community for many years, serving as a classroom teacher, math interventionist, instructional coach, and most recently, Assistant Principal. Her commitment to student success, teacher development, and fostering a positive learning environment makes her the perfect fit for this role.
