My name is Emily Highsmith. I am so excited to be teaching your children this year. This will be my 9th year teaching and I'm ready to hit the ground running. I previously taught 2nd grade and Computer Lab here with the Durant Eagles and am delighted to be back home.
I earned my teaching degree at Appalachian State University in Boone North Carolina. I lived in Boone for a total of 6 years and the mountains have earned a special place in my heart. I try to make a yearly trip up there to get my fill of fall colors!

Meet Marcus
Marcus is a chihuahua-terrier-poodle mutt. He is 10 years old and is a grumpy old man!! He loves car rides, going for walks, snuggling with me, and licking the peanut butter out of the empty jars.
Haaaave you met Molly?
Molly is a 3 year old Carolina Dog mix. She still has a lot of energy and loves to wake me up in the morning by sticking her nose in my face and bopping me on the head with her paw! Her favorite things are the doggie park, chew toys, naps, and stealing your warm spot when you get off of the couch. She is the happiest dog ever and is not shy about having her picture taken!
