Hello!

I am Mrs. Lagette Holmes Murphy.  Welcome! 

This will be my twenty-fourth year of teaching of which fourteen were in mathematics and the last nine years as a PLTW (Project Lead the Way) teacher. Along the way, I have earned four college degrees: a B.S. in Chemistry from Clemson University; A.S. in Biotechnology/Biomedical from Massachusetts Bay Community College; M.S. in Elementary Education with a focus in Urban Education from Wheelock College/Boston University; and an Ed.S. in Supervision/Leadership with the focus in Secondary Principal-ship from Converse College.  Currently, I am a doctoral candidate in the field of STEM education at the University of South Carolina.

I have four beautiful children, Jasmine (31); son-in-law Samson (31); Nia(25); and my son Isaiah (22). I am also a grandmother to three beautiful baby boys, named SJ, Lamier, and Yakir.  To add to the bunch, I also have three dogs: Sergeant the bulldog, Sophie the chihuahua mix, and Chubbs the HuskyPoo.

My greatest desire as a teacher is to inspire my students to go and explore the world through the eyes of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and make a positive impact on society.
