Hi, I am Robin Coutts, and I am looking forward to my first year as a Cardinal! I grew up on a dairy farm here in Clarke and graduated from CCHS in 1990. After receiving a BA from UVA, I taught in Orange County Virginia for several years. When my children were young, I took some time off from full-time teaching. We lived in South Africa for a couple of years, and I completed a master’s degree in middle school science education through Lesley University. Since then, I have been part of the education team at Blandy, taught 8th grade science at Johnson-Williams, and taught elementary science at Powhatan School. My daughters both graduated from CCHS, and my son is a rising senior this year. 

Hi, I am Margaret Moore, and I look forward to teaching my twentieth year of fifth grade at Boyce Elementary. My husband and I grew up in the Mississippi Delta and graduated from Delta State University - home of the "fighting okra!" I majored in marketing and management, and later attended Lynchburg College and earned a teaching certificate. I recently earned a master's in Children's Literacy from Shenandoah University. I have two sons who attended BES and graduated from Clarke County High School. They both attended Clemson University, so we are BIG Tiger fans.

Hello, I am Emily Thompson, and I am looking forward to my sixth year teaching at Boyce Elementary. I grew up in Maryland and went to Harding University to receive my degree in Elementary Education. I began my career in education working as an education director for a learning center, and then for a textbook publishing company.  I took some time off to be home with my children. Then I returned to work as a substitute teacher at Boyce Elementary. I have been a Clarke County resident for 18 years and have enjoyed living in this community. I am married and have two sons who attend school in Clarke County Public Schools.
