Meet the Teachers

About Mrs. Sexton

Hi! My name is Tenesha Sexton. I have been with Greenville County Schools Preschool Special Education for 20 years. I love this age group! I believe in celebrating the little moments that happen each day in our classroom because those moments lead to big steps in the development and success of students. I feel blessed every day to be able to teach, see, learn, and share in on the journey of each of my students. Parents and teachers are the strongest supporters of students. Together we can help your child to make great progress this school year as a team.

I attended Valdosta State University and earned my Bachelor's in Special Education. After completing my degree, I got engaged and moved to Greenville. I attended Converse College and earned a Master's in Teaching.

I am married to my husband. We are proud parents to our daughter, who is a high school Senior this school year. I enjoy fitness walking, listening to music of all genres, and spending time with my family (especially cooking together).

These are a few of my favorite things... turquoise (color); tea and flavored water; cinnamon, vanilla, or pumpkin (scents); flowers; and milk chocolate candy.

About Mrs. West

My name is Lisa West. I have been married for 37 years. I have four children, two grandsons, and three granddaughters. I have worked with children for over 39 years in many daycares and the school district. I enjoy being part of children's development throughout the year. I also like the pureness of their hearts. It’s always been my passion to be with children to watch how they grow in their own personality.

Some of my favorite things I like: spending time with my grandchildren, scrapbooking, cinnamon candles, watching movies, and eating CHOCOLATE!!

About Mrs. Kaplan

My name is Ellen Kaplan and I moved to Greenville three years ago with my husband and my youngest son. My oldest son lives in Boston. I was born on Cape Cod and have lived outside of Boston for over 35 years. We decided to move to Greenville to get away from the cold and snow and to explore another area of the country. I have a degree in History and have a Master of Education. I have worked in a preschool classroom for 18 years in Boston with children on the spectrum and 3 years with Greenville County Schools.

I am an avid Boston Sports Fan, love scrapbooking, collecting kangaroos, and following the British Royal Family. l love listening to 80's music and clam chowder. I am very excited to be working at Greenview and working with your children.
