Ms. Criner

This year will be Ms. Criner's 12th year working in Cobb County as the school bookkeeper. She worked at Bells Ferry Elementary and Addison Elementary before coming to join the Barber Middle School Staff when the school opened. Her job is to collect, count, and post all money coming into the school as well as ordering everything that is used in our school, from copiers and desks to toilet paper, copy paper and pencils. She is a wife of 31 years, mother of two daughters and grandmother of four grandchildren, who are the love of her life. She has lived in Cobb County for 30 years but was born in Virginia and still has family drawing her back several times a year. Her favorite vacation spot is the beach where she can dig her toes in the sand and refresh her soul for whatever life has in store.

Prior to moving to Georgia, my husband, son and I have lived in the New York area, Boston area, New Jersey area, and the Tampa, FL area.

Ms. Price

I am a clerk at Barber, coming from Awtrey M.S. where my Cobb County career began. I started as a substitute teacher after moving to Georgia from Indiana in 1999. I then became the permanent sub for several years and finally moved to guidance clerk. You may see me in many places at Barber; my desk in the guidance office, helping in the clinic, attendance, or the front office. My husband and I have 2 nearly-grown children...Carrie is 25 years old, married and finishing her masters degree in computer science internet security at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, PA. She makes her home in Monument, CO. with her husband, Steve, and 2 dogs Maverick and Bridgette. Our son Ryan is 20 years old and graduated from North Cobb High School in 2005. He is a sophmore at Georgia State University where he is pursuing a business communications degree. Jim and I are enjoying our new home in the quiet town of Adairsville with our 1 year old poodle/terrier mix named Murphy. He keeps me company in my sewing room where I work on my hobby of machine quilting. The favorite part of my job at Barber is helping people.
