Mr. Terence Francis

I am originally from New Orleans, LA (GEAUX SAINTS!!). I attended Mercer University to earn my degree in Middle School Education. I live with my wife, DiJuana, who is also in education, and my two children, Tatiana and Jordan. My favorite things to do outside of school are bowling, traveling, watching sports (GEAUX SAINTS!!), and hanging out with friends and family.
