Briscoe teaches US history and AP US history. She has a love and passion for history and she shares that with her students each and every day. Junior Addison Cox states that, “She connects with us on a personal level and really gets to know us genuinely.”
Outside of school, Briscoe said her hobbies are “Photography, cooking, baking, sewing, crocheting, hiking, and camping.”
Briscoe loves to learn and she’s always trying out new things. During student work time, she sits at her desk and makes crafty little projects with her Cricut. She is always encouraging students to have her craft them something. Most of the decor in her classroom she has made herself.
