Meet Shacoty Miles

by Tyrell I., junior, and Hunter R., senior

The first person that visitors see when they come to J.I.Burton is the new secretary, Shacoty Miles.
This is her first year in the education field. She previously worked for Teletech, a telecommunications
company, as a supervisor. She is a great person for the position because she always has a smile on
her face and is always in a good mood. Her email (with her first initial and last name) is even
smiles@nortoncityschools.org.    


She considers her knowledge of technology a strength and rates her computer skills an "8." She
says ”the reason I rate myself an 8 is because there always room for improvement.” This is not Miss
Miles’s first time being on a job with computers.She has previously worked at
Teletech, which is an insurance agency. She was a supervisor in the Anthem department.


What made Miss Miles come to Burton is her love for kids.She saw the job opening and said, "I
love kids, and it was a gift from God.” The role models who made Miss Miles the woman she is today
are her mom and Ms. Susan Fore, who recently passed away. She said, "Mrs Fore made a
huge impact on my life.”

Miss Miles is not really new to the Burton community; she graduated from here several years ago.
She said the best part of working here is ”getting to see the wonderful kids every day.”

Her favorite hobbies outside of school are watching Netflix and shopping.
