About Me

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Christina Moroney.  I am beginning my 22nd year teaching at Fork Shoals and my 17th year in first grade! I previously taught Kindergarten. I graduated from USC Upstate in 2004, with certification in Early Childhood Education, but I also hold a degree from Clemson University (Go Tigers!) in Graphic Communications which I received in 1999. I attained National Board Certification as an Early Childhood Generalist in 2010 and renewed in 2018.  I  completed a Master’s Degree in Teaching and Learning with a STEAM concentration at Clemson in 2019.  I love teaching first grade! This year, you will be amazed, as I am every year, at how much your child will grow and change!  Although I grew up in Westwood, New Jersey, I have lived in Upstate South Carolina for the past 29 years. I live nearby in Pelzer. I have been married for 26 years to Stephen, an engineer with Michelin. We have three beautiful children.  Lindsey, 24, recently graduated from Clemson University and is working in agriculture; Colin, 20, is a junior at Clemson University studying Theatre and PRTM, and Christopher, 17, is a senior at Woodmont High School and plays baseball. All three went through Fork Shoals School! A dachshund named Daisy, a cheweinie named Penny and two cats named Piper and Charlie. In my spare time, I LOVE to read, plan travel and cruise! (We are a little crazy about Disney!), and spend a LOT of time at the baseball field!  I am the Concessions Chair of the Woodmont Booster Club. We are also members of Simpsonville First Baptist. Yes, I am very busy, but I thrive on it!
