My name is Heather Herrin and I am the Challenge teacher at Monarch. I am originally from Atlanta, Georgia. I attended Georgia State University where I earned my degree in Early Childhood Education. I then earned my Master's degree in Educational Psychology with a concentration in Gifted and Creative Education from the University of Georgia. I taught in Atlanta for ten years, and this will be my 6th year teaching Challenge at Monarch Elementary.

      I have been married to my husband, Wade, for 25 years. We have a daughter, Laurel, who is a junior at the College of Charleston. We have two furry family members - Pippa and Blue. In my spare time I love to read, crochet, bake bread,  and spend time with my family at the lake.

     Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns about Challenge. I am committed to providing students with a fun, interactive, and productive year.  I look forward to working with you and your child this year!
