Hey! I'm Mackenzie Rash, and I'm so excited to be your child's 4th grade teacher! This is my 10th year teaching and my 3rd year at Midway! Midway is the best, and I am so thankful and blessed to be apart of this family. I am a product of Anderson 5 schools (Concord, McCants, Hanna). I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Anderson University in 2015. I also graduated from Clemson University with a Master's in Teaching and Learning with a specialization in STEAM in 2018. I received my Gifted and Talented Endorsement in 2019. I believe that everyone should be lifelong learners!

I have lived in Anderson, SC my whole life and all of my family does as well. I am married to my husband, James, who is an administrator at North Pointe Elementary. We have a 5 year old son, Collins, and he starts Kindergarten at Midway this year. Our youngest son, Hudson, will turn 1 on the first day of school. Being a mom has taught me so much about life, and I believe has truly made me a better teacher! When I am not with my family or friends, I love to sing at church, play the piano, travel (especially to the beach), read, and shop! I love my church and serving in the music ministry there. I am passionate about integrating the arts in everyday learning (music, drama, art) because I have seen first-hand the way it gets students engaged and brings results. We will have some fun in Room 43 along with lots of hard work!

I can't wait to spend the next year partnering with you and growing and learning together! If you need to contact me, please email me at mackenzierash@anderson5.net.
