About Me

Hello! I am Ms. Dennis and this will be my first year as an 8th grade Social Studies teacher at Newberry Middle School. I attended college at Tri-County Technical College where I received an Associates in Applied Science with a concentration in Criminal Justice. I then attended Clemson University where I received a Bachelor of Science in Sociology with a minor in Psychology. 

Later, I furthered my education by attending Coker University where I received a Master of Science in Criminal and Social Justice Policy. It is there where I found my passion for history, social studies, and teaching. I am now in my last semester with Clemson University where I will be receiving my Master of Arts in Teaching in Middle-Level Education in December of 2023. 

I have three children, ages 19, 7, and 5, who mean the world to me. We enjoy playing outside, swimming, and taking long walks around our neighborhood. In my free time, I enjoy concerts, music festivals, hiking, sewing by hand, and reading True Crime novels and autobiographies.

I am so excited to be beginning my career with Newberry Middle School! I can't wait to meet you all and I am looking forward to a great school year!
