Howdy! I'm Laura Smith and this is my 10th year teaching ELA. I recently moved to the area from Texas and am so excited to start a new chapter in the Upstate! I married a Clemson grad 16 years ago (Go, Tigers!), and we have 2 children: one in middle school, and one in preschool. We have a full house with 2 cats and a dog as well! In addition to a passion for reading and writing, I have a huge passion for sports! I am a soccer and baseball nut, but also love watching Formula 1, football, and basketball. I look forward to seeing our Warriors excel in the classroom and on the court/field/etc.!
