About Mrs. Hunt

I was born and raised in Radford, Virginia where I lived until I went to college at the University of Virginia. There I studied English Literature (B.A) and I received a Masters of Teaching. Go Hoos! I began teaching after graduation in 1996 (do the math to find out my age !) in Marietta, Georgia (a suburb of Atlanta). I moved to Asheville in 2003 and since that time I have worked for Asheville City Schools (with the exception of one year when I had two babies under two)! I have taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades as a classroom teacher and been a gifted specialist for students grades K-5. In December 2019, I achieved my National Board Certification as a Middle Grades Generalist. In March 2022 I was name the North Carolina Association of Gifted and Talented Outstanding Teacher of the Year.

My teaching mission statement is "Every child deserves to learn something new every day."

My personal mission statement is to "Approach the world with wonder and awe, optimism, and gratitude."

My classroom mission statement is "In this classroom we believe we can do hard things, encourage each other, and keep trying!"
