Mrs. Laken Pitchford

I began working as a speech therapist with Bullock County Schools in August 2008. I worked with children from second grade through high school. In August 2009 I began working for Houston County Schools at Cottonwood High School. I was a speech therapist there as well. I provided speech therapy for preschool children through high school. After completing my Master's degree in Special Education I began working at Ashford High School in a self-contained classroom for children with Autism. In 2013, I came to Rehobeth Elementary where I worked as a speech therapist for second grade through high school. In October of 2015, I began working as the preschool and kindergarten special education teacher at Rehobeth Elementary. I enjoy working with children and their families.

I married my sweet husband, David, in March 2018. Together, we have three children and three dogs! I enjoy going to Auburn Football and Basketball games (WAR EAGLE!), exercising, reading, going to the lake/beach, buying shoes, and spending time with my family and friends.
