STAFF SPOTLIGHT: JANE DICKENS

Once upon a time, when we could visit the school a little more often, a cheerful face would greet you in the front office! Jane Dickens is in her 14th year at the front desk as an administrative assistant at Crestline. Jane grew up in the small town of Beatrice, AL, about three hours southwest of Birmingham. She now lives in Mountain Brook with her husband Scott, and her two children, Hayden and Caroline.  

Favorite holiday:  "Thanksgiving - it involves my favorites (Food, Family and Fellowship)"

Favorite Candy: Hershey's with Almonds

Favorite Football Team: Auburn

What do you love most about working at Crestline: "Watching the kids grow and mature under the tutelage of the faculty and staff at Crestline."
