Hello, my name is Emily Yow. I was born in Indiana, then lived outside of Charlotte, NC for 11 years. I have been in Greenville, SC for 6 years. This is my 6^th year teaching 5^th grade and my 3^rd year at Bethel! I have a Bachelor’s Degree in K-6 Education from UNC-Charlotte, a Master’s Degree in Educational Administration from USC, and I’m halfway through my Doctorate in Educational Practice & Innovation.

My husband, Ryan, and I have one son, Brantley, who is going into 4^th grade at Bethel. We have one cat, Tyson, who is 11 years old. Within the last few months, we adopted a lab, Watson, who will be 1 in August and a Golden Retriever, Renfrow, who is only a few months old.

I love Clemson football, traveling, family game nights, and the beach!
