Kasey Hensley- 8th Grade Math
I have been teaching since 2015, I started at NBMS in 2016!
I graduated from Western Carolina University in May of 2015 with a B.S.Ed in Middle Grades Education. I concentrated in Mathematics and Social Studies with a minor in History. I am certified to teach 6th-12th grade in both subject areas.
I graduated again from Western Carolina University in May of 2018 with a M.A.Ed in Middle Grades Mathematics.
In 2020 I received my National Board Teacher certification in Early Adolescence Mathematics.
I love teaching students and being part of their journey in life!
