Experience
I began my teaching career in the fall of 2001 at Independence High School in Independence, MS, teaching 11th grade English and Pre-Algebra. In the fall of 2002 I came back to "my home," Olive Branch High School, where I have been teaching ever since. Throughout my tenure at OBHS, I have taught 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade English, Dual Enrollment Comp 1 and Comp 2, as well as Mythology, Compensatory Reading, SATP Test Remediation, and Print Journalism/Yearbook.
I am in charge of school-wide elections, the OBHS Homecoming Court, and coach the E-Sports team.
Bio
I have lived in Olive Branch my entire life, and I absolutely love my hometown and school! I am a 3rd generation graduate of OBHS--my grandfather graduated in approximately 1924; my father in 1963; my sisters in 1983 and 1986; and I graduated in 1993.
I am the mother of three wonderful children who are (and will be) 4th generation graduates of OBHS. Ross, who graduated in 2014, is a December 2019 graduate of Delta State University with a degree in Graphic Design; Lauren, who graduated in 2019, is currently attending Mississippi State University working on a degree in Kinesiology; Daniel, who will graduate in 2026, is a member of the OBHS band and Choir, and is on the Knowledge Bowl and E-Sports teams.
I am the wife of Greg who is a 1989 graduate of Independence High School. We have been together for 30 years, and this past August we celebrated our 29th anniversary. We currently reside in Olive Branch and live in the house where my father was raised.
As you can see, I am "Olive Branch" through and through. I always tell my students that I bleed blue and gold!
OB Pride!! All the time!!

From Mrs. Sullivan regarding student logins:
Some students are struggling to login to Office 365 and Teams. Below are some issues they may be having and what to tell them:
- They did not go through dcsdms.org. Have them go to dcsdms.org then click on Office 365
- They forgot their email address. It is first initial last initial last 6 of MSIS @dcsms.org. No spaces all lowercase.
- They forgot their password. If they completed the Authentication process, they can simply reset their password by clicking on Reset Password.
- They forgot their password and did not complete the Authentication process, they will have to go to dcsdms.org and click on Tech Help Ticket. Then complete the ticket. Once their email has been reset, they will receive a text message. At that point, when they login with the temporary password, they will complete the Authentication process.
