My name is Heather Herrin and I teach 4th and 5th grade challenge at Monarch.  I am originally from Atlanta, Georgia. I attended Georgia State University where I earned my degree in Early Childhood Education. I then earned my Master's degree in Educational Psychology with a concentration in Gifted and Creative Education from the University of Georgia. I taught in Atlanta for 10 years, and this will be my 9th year teaching Challenge at Monarch Elementary.

      I have been married to my husband, Wade, for 28 years. We have an adult daughter, Laurel, as well as two dogs - Blue and Goose.  In my spare time I love to read, crochet, bake bread,  and spend time with my family at the lake.

     Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns about Challenge. I am committed to providing students with a fun, interactive, and productive year.  I look forward to working with you and your child this year!
