Hello! My name is Keri Winchester Newton. I teach 7th-9th grade special education at Cherokee High School and coach the varsity cheerleaders. 

I graduated from Cherokee in 2009. I was a cheerleader at Northwest Shoals Community College for 2 years and graduated with an associates degree in elementary education in 2012. I went on to the University of North Alabama where I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor's  degree in Elementary Education in 2015. I also completed my masters degree in 2018 in Special Education from the University of North Alabama. 

I am married to Jake Newton, who is a CVIUC nurse at North Alabama Medical Center. We have one daughter, Elliott, who is 2 years old.
