Ms.Mary Ellen Horne

Hello! I grew up in the north western mountains of Pennsylvania and knew as a young child that I wanted to be a teacher! I have been teaching since 1984. I received my BS in Special Education from beautiful Keuka College on beautiful Keuka Lake, one of the finger lakes in NY, and earned my MS in Elementary Education at Cortland University in upstate NY. I've taught in the Florida Everglades, upstate New York and western North Carolina.

Since moving to Asheville in 1995, I have taught special education in Intensive Intervention and Resource classrooms and also have been a Behavior Specialist. I've been at NBES since 2014 as a Resource teacher.

I strive to provide routine, structure and positive motivation for my students, sprinkled with fun! In my classroom we will work on social emotional learning as well as academics.

When I'm not at school (my home away from home) I enjoy reading, working/relaxing outside, and traveling.
