I am teaching the very classes that I took and passed as a student at Manning High School. 

This is me (left) and Mrs. Nelson, my high school art teacher.

I am still friends with my bus driver, Mr. Hilton, to this day.

I graduated from the carpentry class at F.E. DuBose before I graduated from Manning High School.

I attended Lander University and received my Bachelors of Science in Visual Arts.

I met my husband at Lander University. (2016)

We both teach at Manning High School. (2021)

I graduated from the University of South Carolina with my Masters in Art Education K - 12.

My husband and I were married the summer after I graduated from graduate school.

I love to bring in other Visual Artists to talk to my students. 

Mr. Hilton (left) is a professor at Benedict College and a Manning High School graduate.

I love immersing my students in art outside of Manning High School. 

AKA -  Field Trips!

P.S. - Meet my brother Wyatt! I had the opportunity to teach him in Art 1. 

Meet my son, Grayson Lavern Thomas.
