• Hello! My name is Crista Smith and this is my 9th year teaching at Faucett-Vestavia. I absolutely love this school - the teachers, parents, and especially the students! This year I am teaching second grade.I was born and raised right here in Tuscaloosa and graduated from the University of Alabama in 2011 with degrees in Elementary Education and Special Education. I earned my Master's Degree from the University of West Alabama in Elementary Education.  I am married to my best friend, Clay Smith. We have one sweet girl, Anna Carson, who is three years old, and we welcomed a baby boy, Tucker into our family this past March!  I also have an extremely spoiled dog. Her name is Bailey and she is a 12 year old Maltese. When I am not at school, I love to spend time with my family and friends, shop, read, and most of all travel! I love to travel...anywhere! (The beach is one of my favorites though!) I also love all things Bama! Roll Tide!
