April Durmire

April Durmire loves being a part of the awesome Newcomer Academy team and the Sims Academy staff. She grew up in Conyers, GA and earned her teaching degree through Point University. Over the past twenty plus years, she has taught in Florida and Georgia among many diverse students. By far, working with the Newcomer Program and students is the best and most rewarding group of students she has ever had the privilege of teaching.

One of her favorite things about being a teacher is building lasting relationships with ALL students and families, where they know they are loved, encouraged, and accepted; even after leaving her classroom.

In her free time, she loves to spend time reading, camping, traveling, and hanging out with her husband, Joseph, and daughter, Addison. One of her absolute favorite things to do is laugh, days are always better when laughing happens and life is enjoyed!
