About Mrs. Thompson

Hi! I was born and raised in Fremont, Ohio. Both of my parents were teachers and 3 of my grandparents were teachers! I attended college at Clemson University (Go Tigers!) where I met my husband, Harry, and earned my BA in Elementary Education. Harry and I were married in 2003 and then moved to Huntersville. In September of 2010, Harry and I had our only daughter, Alaina. The 2025-2026 school year will be my 24th year teaching, 20 of those years at Long Creek Elementary School. I have also taught at Northview Elementary and Third Creek Elementary Schools in Statesville and at Liberty Middle School in Liberty, SC.  In the past, I have been a technology, first, second, third, and fifth grade teacher. In January, 2015 I took on the role of AIG Teacher at Long Creek Elementary and Paw Creek Elementary Schools. I earned my AIG (Academically Intellectually Gifted) Certification from UNCP in June, 2016. For the 2025-2026 school year I will be at Long Creek Elementary School full time as the AIG teacher and the Creative Arts and Cambridge Program Coordinator. I am looking forward to being able to support the students and staff at Long Creek this year.
