Ms. Umbarger

Hi, my name is Ali Umbarger and I will be teaching 5th grade this coming school year. I attended Queens University of Charlotte on a basketball scholarship and received my Elementary and Early Childhood Education degree in 2007. I went back to Queens for my master’s degree and earned a degree in K-12 Literacy in 2015. I have taught in both Middle and Elementary school. I lived in Clemson, SC for 11 years and taught 6th grade; mainly the subjects of Science and Social Studies, however, I have taught all subjects at some point.

This will be my 3rd year at ODE and I feel blessed to be a part of this family. I am the assistant varsity basketball coach at North Myrtle Beach High School. Being a part of this community and active within the community is extremely important to me. I enjoy the outdoors and hanging out with friends. Even though I live at the beach, I love the mountains and hiking. I am an avid Duke fan and enjoy all types of sports. I am looking forward to the school year and the amazing things there are to come.
