Mrs. Janine Poli 

This is my  second  year here at Hillcrest Middle. My three children all attended HMS.  I have taught Fifth Grade for the past 11 years.  One of my main goals is to help your child feel like a successful reader, and maybe even enjoy reading.

Welcome letter

My oldest daughter, Kaelin, is  year school counselor at Sevier Middle School. She is a Clemson graduate(GO TIGERS!)  and got married last Novemeber. 

Nathan is in the South Carolina National Guard. He  is living back at home and working.  He has made me a huge Star Wars and Atlanta Falcons fan. 

Lauryn will be a sophomore at Greenville Tech. She is planning to be a music teacher(she does NOT get her music ability from me!).  She works at "Baked Cookies", so be sure to say hello if you go.
