About the Teacher

My name is Mrs. Danielle Phillips.  This will be my twenty- third year as a teacher at Sara Collins Elementary School. However, I have been teaching for over thirty years. I am excited to continue teaching Third Grade, with a wonderful team of teachers at Sara Collins Elementary.

Although I did grow up in the Niagara Falls/Buffalo, New York area, I have lived in the South for almost thirty years. I do call South Carolina my home.  I truly love the Greenville area, and refuse to ever move back to the "cold weather".

My husband, Erik and I have two children, and a dog. Our daughter, Kaitlin just graduated from Charleston Southern University with her masters as an Athletic Trainer.  She will be starting her first job as a trainer in Fort Mill, SC this fall.  Our son, Collin, is entering his senior year at Erskine College, where he is studying Business/Finance and Accounting.  He is also part of the university football team, which is where we spend most of our free time.  Our dog, T.J., is a Black Mouth Cur, nine years old, and 85 lbs.  However, he is very spoiled and thinks he should be a lap dog.  

Our other favorite family pastimes are watching the Clemson Tigers play football, going to the beach or lake, or just spending time together.
