About Madame McGee

My name is JerriLynn McGee.  I am originally from Laurens, South Carolina.  I graduated from the University of     South Carolina with a degree in French.  Shortly before I graduated, I married my high school sweetheart, Billy,         who is a lawyer.  After graduation, we moved to Greenville where I taught French at the high school level at Shannon Forest Christian School for 5 years.  My husband and I then decided that I would stay at home for a while with our   three sons, Drew, Matt and Eric.  (Drew and his wife Lily live in Spartanburg.  He’s the band director at Chesnee High School and Lily is a band director at Beech Springs Middle school in Duncan.  They have a daughter, Madison.           Matt is a data scientist for the US government.  He lives in Washington, DC.  Eric and his wife Summer live in Columbia.  He works as an insurance broker and also as the youth coordinator for his church and Summer is a booking manager for Sam Hills Entertainment.)  After spending ten years at home with my guys, I got the opportunity to teach part time at Blythe and Hughes Academies.  I worked with FLES French classes (as a Foreign Language Elementary Specialist) at Blythe and taught French Immersion at Hughes for three years before moving to Mauldin High School.  (And while I enjoyed my elementary and middle school days, I was very happy to return to teaching my favorite group -- high schoolers!)  I love teaching at Mauldin High School and am looking forward to this new school year!

In my spare time I love everything GAMECOCKS, being involved in church activities, and traveling whenever our family can find the time--especially cruising!  Here are a few other random facts about me:

• I love Italian food and DARK chocolate.

• I am sort of obsessed with snails (escargots).

• Did I mention I love everything GAMECOCKS?!?!

• I enjoy reading and going to the lake (and taking sunset pictures over the water).
