About Mrs. Dacus

I am so excited about being your child’s third grade teacher! We are enjoying many learning opportunities and successes as we prepare for fourth grade. I believe that all children can learn, and as an educator it is my responsibility to figure out the best way to teach a child effectively. Thank you for entrusting me with your child. I love 3rd grade!!!

I am a graduate of Converse College with a B.F.A. degree in Art and a Masters degree in Elementary Education. This is my sixth year teaching third grade at Monarch Elementary. I also taught fourth grade at Taylors Elementary. I have also worked in advertising, interior design, and taught preschool and special education. Recognitions include: Monarch Elementary Distinguished Reading Teacher, Taylors Elementary Teacher of the Year, Who's Who Among American Teachers, and Taylors Elementary PTA Teacher of the Year.

I have a supportive husband and three children. Emily is married to Ethan and teaches 3rd grade at Abner Creek Academy in Spartanburg County. They have a baby boy, Will. I love spending time with Will and watching him grow. Cole is a senior at North Greenville University and Nathan is a sophmore at North Greenville University. Our family also enjoys our dog, Cinnamon. I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family, church activities, going to movies, working sudoku puzzles, photography, and shopping.
