Hello, My name is Portland Perine-McCreary. I am the daughter of Lee Perine, Sr. and Rondallyn Jones. I am the second daughter of four siblings. I have been married to Henry McCreary, Jr. for almost eight years. We have three amazing children: Ryan (8), Justin (6), and Madison (5). They mean the world to us and constantly keep us on our toes.

I am a 1998 graduate of Jackson High School in Jackson, Alabama. I am also a 2002 graduate of UWA with a B.S. in Elementary Education. I am currently employed as a second grade teacher at J.E.Hobbs Elementary in Camden, Alabama. I have been teaching here for five years and have seven years of teaching experience. I am currently finishing UWA's Master's of Elementary Education program and look forward to graduating in a few months.

I really enjoy touching the lives of so many children. I feel each child is unique and should have the best opportunity to learn as much as possible. I look forward to exercising my talent in the future.
