About Me
My Name is Stacy Unger and this is my sixth year teaching at Central Middle School - GO VIKINGS! I was born in Florida, but was raised in the great state of North Carolina. I am a proud graduate of North Surry High School - GO GREYHOUNDS! I attended Chowan University in Murfreesboro, N.C., where I graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology with a concentration in Environmental Science and a minor in Criminal Justice. While at Chowan, I earned a lifetime enrollment in the Beta Beta Beta Biological Honor Society - check them out here https://www.tribeta.org/ . I am very happily married and have three wonderful children, two girls and one boy, one crazy, yet lazy dog, and one super loving kitty cat (oh my!). I am a very active member of my local church and love participating in showing Christ's love to our surrounding communities and across the world.
My Educational Philosophy
In my classroom, each student is valued and loved for the individual that they are. I strive to make our classroom a place where students feel safe, secure and successful. I believe that every student who enters my door is capable of learning, and with the right tools and approach, every student WILL learn. We aim for greatness every single day by being respectful, being responsible and being ready.
