Welcome to Madison County High School - Home of the Red Raiders!  

I am Dr. Christy Epps and it is my honor and privilege to serve the school and the community as principal at Madison County High School. I am a graduate of the University of Georgia with degrees in Family and Consumer Sciences Education, Educational Administration and Policy, and Educational Leadership.  I was a teacher for nine years at Commerce High School where I served as a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher, FCCLA sponsor, and Work-Based Learning Coordinator.  I worked for nine years as an administrator in Rome City Schools.  I served as Associate Principal for Rome Middle School, Principal at Rome’s Phoenix Learning Center and Virtual Learning Academy, and CTAE Director for the College and Career Academy.  

Our PBIS motto is ‘We are MC - We are Motivated and Committed to Character.’  This motto provides us the framework to teach students academic and behavioral expectations. I will be dedicated to supporting all students through the academic, arts and athletic opportunities at Madison County High School. I look forward to working with the school community and celebrating our successes both in and out of the classroom. Go Red Raiders! 

As a Madison County native and graduate, it is an honor to watch our school and system continue to excel. Throughout my 16 years at Madison County High School, I have proudly served as a Social Studies teacher and assistant principal. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Social Science Education, Master's Degree in Instructional Technology, and Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership. It is my passion to help students develop and improve values and behaviors that will enable them to become independent and productive citizens of our great community. Go Red Raiders!

I am Mrs. Suzanne Howard, and I am thrilled to be starting my 12th year in Madison County. I have served in several capacities in our district, but for the past 11 years, I have served as a Middle School ELA teacher, Coach, and English Department Head. I was welcomed to the Raider family last year as a new Assistant Principal, and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of this wonderful community. My husband, Scott and I are parents to our sweet fur-baby, Madie and we love our Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta Braves! I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of West Georgia, a Master’s Degree in Middle Grades Education, and a Education Specialist in Curriculum and Instruction. I am passionate about growing students and setting a high standard for ourselves so that our students can learn by example. Madison County teachers are among the most committed and talented I have had the pleasure to work with, and I look forward to the 2023-2024 school year as one where students are engaged and thriving every day! Go Red Raiders!

It is my pleasure to be joining the MCHS staff this year as an Assistant Principal. Prior to coming to Madison County, I taught and coached in Gwinnett County and Cherokee County where I taught Social Studies, Mathematics, and Special Education. Since joining the MCHS family I have felt nothing but welcomed from the school community, which is a testament to the community at large. I received my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Georgia and my Masters in Educational Administration from Kennesaw State University. It is my goal to serve and support our school community to give every student the opportunity to achieve individual success both in and out of the classroom. My wife and I have 1 daughter and are expecting our 2nd child in mid-September. When not at school I am most happy spending time with my family, hunting/fishing, woodworking, and rooting on the Dawgs! I am looking forward to a successful year. Go Red Raiders!

I am excited to begin my 11th year in education and honored to enter my first year as an assistant principal. As a graduate of Madison County High School in 2007, it is a privilege to serve the students and teachers of the wonderful school and community. I graduated from UGA in 2013 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education, then attended Kennesaw State University to earn my Master’s Degree in Teacher Leadership, and my Specialist in Educational Leadership. I have taught in all subject areas as a Special Education teacher, and spent 7 years teaching US History and 3 years teaching AP US History. I have served this school as a coach for various sports to include football (15), golf (12), wrestling (8), softball (1). I have been married to my awesome wife, Kaitlin, since 2012. Together we have three daughters and one son: Scarlett, twins Saydie and Sawyer, and Dustin. I look forward to a great year watching our students grow in the classroom, on stage, on the court, and on the field. Go Raiders!
