About Me

Hello! My name is Elizabeth Parris. I am ecstatic to have you in my class this year. I hope you are ready to get started and have fun while learning. We will be learning and growing together this year. We will be studying a lot of interesting and new things this year. Social Studies and Writing are two of my favorite things to teach.

I was born in Greenville, South Carolina. I have a younger brother, John Mason, who graduated from Newberry College. After I graduated from Blue Ridge High School, I attended North Greenville University in Tigerville, SC where I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education. Later, I graduated from Converse College in Spartanburg, SC where I earned my Master of Education degree in Special Education. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Alex, for six years.

I am blessed and honored to be a teacher at Skyland. This community is an awesome one to be apart of. This will be my eighth year teaching. I truly believe it is a privilege to teach and serve in the community in which I grew up and live.

My sweet husband Alex and I have one son, Rhett and two dogs, Bella and Goose. They are a big part of our family and keep us busy. In our free time, we enjoy spending time with family and friends, 4wheeling, and going to the lake.

I am thrilled to be your teacher this year. I look forward to seeing your smiling face each day!
