Hello! My name is Dr. Tora Henson, and I am thrilled to be your child’s fourth-grade teacher this year. This is my 13th year teaching fourth grade, and I continue to love every moment of it. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from North Greenville University and a Doctorate in Leadership and Learning from Anderson University. I live in Travelers Rest with my husband, Kevin, our daughter Lydia, and our sons Nathan and Noah. We also share our home with our two beloved dogs, Mae and Bell. In my free time, I enjoy playing with my dogs, spending time at the lake, and making memories with friends and family. I’m truly excited about the year ahead and look forward to getting to know both you and your wonderful children!

These were my top five strengths:
Connectedness - I have faith in the links between all things. I believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.
Individualization - I am intrigued with the unique qualities of each person. I have a gift for figuring out how people who are different can work together productively.
Achiever- I work hard and possess a great deal of stamina. I take immense satisfaction in being busy and productive.
Empathy - I sense the feelings of other people by imagining me in others’ lives or others’ situations.
Context - I enjoy thinking about the past. I understand the present by researching its history.
