Language Arts

Hello! My name is Ashley Brown, and I am thrilled to be teaching 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts at Blackmon Road. I have been a part of this incredible school community for almost three years, and each day brings new opportunities to inspire and support my students. I have a passion for helping students discover their unique voices through writing and exploring a variety of reading genres. My goal is to guide them in understanding the vital role literacy plays in their everyday lives.

Originally from Columbus, I attended Hardaway High School and furthered my education at Columbus State University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree. I also hold a master’s degree from LaGrange College in Middle Grades Education. I absolutely love teaching middle school and cherish the opportunity to make a positive impact in my students’ lives!

Outside of teaching, I am a proud mother of four amazing children. My husband, Kenny, and I have two kids in college and two high school seniors who will be heading off to college in the fall of 2025. With all our kids soon to be in college, we will officially become empty nesters! Raising our kids has been our primary hobby for the last 20 years, and we are excited to find new hobbies and adventures in this next chapter of our lives. Our home is also filled with the joy of four dogs! They definitely keep us busy and laughing at their antics hiding shoes and socks. As a family we are passionate fans of Georgia football. We love tail-gating and gathering with friends and family to watch the DAWGS play.

Hi, my name is Eric Roberts, and this is my first year at Blackmon Road Middle School. I received my bachelor’s degree in English Secondary Education from Columbus State University. I currently teach 6^th & 7^th grade ELA, and it has been a joyous experience getting to know my students. I have tried many things before finding my calling, but now that I have found teaching, I cannot imagine doing anything else. When I am not at work in the classroom, I can be found curled up with my three dogs and reading a good book. I am particularly fond of thrillers.  

Welcome to Blackmon Road! My name is Patti Guercio Landreau, and I started teaching here in 2022. Prior to that I taught at St. Luke School and Central Freshman Academy.  I have been teaching seventh grade ELA for ten years now.  Something about middle school I guess!  I love to walk, read, watch home and cooking shows,  and spend time with my pets, Prince and Kit Kat.  I also enjoy live theatre both as a participant and audience member. I have two children, Cydney and Jackson, both in their early twenties.  I graduated from the University of Southern MIssissippi twice, with a bachelor’s in journalism and a master’s in education.  Go Southern Miss Eagles! I grew up in Louisiana – Geaux Saints – and my parents still live there.  Let’s have a great year!
