Education
I went to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington where I was a North Carolina Teaching Fellow. I graduated from UNCW in May of 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education and a minor in History. I am certified to teach kindergarten through sixth grade.
In August 2009, I began working on my Master's Degree at UNCW. In July 2011, I completed the Master's program and now hold a Master's Degree in Elementary Education.
In November 2013, I became a National Board Certified Teacher in the area of Early Childhood Generalist. This past school year, I renewed my National Board Certification.
I also have a Reading K-12 License.
Ms. Huffman's Professional Mission Statement:
My mission is to be a positive role model for my students by being fair, kind, and helpful and instilling in them a love of being a life-long learner.
Experience
After graduating from UNCW, I taught in Pender County for four years. I taught kindergarten for two years and first grade for two years.
In August 2008, I began teaching kindergarten at Richlands Primary School (now Heritage Elementary). While at Heritage, I have taught kindergarten, first grade and was a reading specialist. The 2023-2024 school year will be my 16th year at Heritage and my 20th year overall of teaching.
I was selected as Richlands Primary School's 2016-2017 Teacher of the Year.
Biography
I was born and raised in Richlands. I went to Richlands Elementary School, Trexler Middle School, and Richlands High School. I graduated from Richlands High School in 2000.
I have lived in Richlands for the majority of my life. I lived in Wilmington, NC for eight years.
I love to travel. I have been to Spain, Portugal, Morocco, France, and Japan. I also like to visit New York City, Texas, and Washington DC.
I love the beach!
In June of 2010, I had the opportunity to spend two weeks in Japan as a part of my graduate school program. While there, I was able to visit schools and see how their education system compares to ours. It was an amazing experience and I enjoy sharing what I learned with my students.
