Welcome to the Panther Pack, Mrs. Lexie Morgan (Michie)! 🐾
.
Decatur County Schools is proud to welcome Mrs. Lexie Morgan Michie to the Panther Pack family! We are thrilled to have her begin her first official school year with us.
.
Lexie holds a Bachelor of Science in Education (Integrated Studies K–5) from the University of Tennessee at Martin. Her passion for education and love for children have made this moment—a classroom of her very own—a lifelong dream come true.
.
“My goal is to create a positive learning environment where every student feels encouraged to reach their full academic potential,” Lexie shares. “But even more than that, I want to help them become the best versions of themselves.”
.
Lexie is especially excited to meet her first group of students, watch them grow, and face each new challenge and milestone together. As a proud product of Decatur County Schools herself, she’s eager to give back to the community that supported her throughout her 13 years as a student.
.
Outside the classroom, Lexie enjoys babysitting, traveling, shopping, and spending time with family. And speaking of family—just this past weekend, on June 21, 2025, Lexie married her best friend, James Michie! The couple shares their home with a lovable Shih Tzu named Moose, who keeps life fun and full of joy.
.
Former Decaturville Elementary Principal Melinda Thompson shared her excitement, saying: “Lexie has always had a heart for children and a natural gift for teaching. Knowing she was once a student in Decatur County Schools and is now joining the team as an educator is such a full-circle moment. I know she will be a blessing to her students and a wonderful addition to the DES family.”
.
Mrs. Lexie Michie will be teaching Kindergarten at Decaturville Elementary this coming school year.
.
Please join us in giving her a warm Panther Pack welcome as she embarks on this exciting new chapter. We can’t wait to see all the great things she will do! 💛💙
