Meet Mrs. Pepper

 I am excited to be a part of your child's education this year!  This year begins my 29th year teaching in the public school system. I have taught in the elementary, middle, and high school level. For ten years I taught in the field of special education in both the self-contained setting and the resource setting.  At Lake Forest, I  taught 11 years in 2nd grade and 7 years in  3rd grade.  

I grew up in Greenwood, South Carolina and  spent my college years at Lander University.  I graduated from Lander University in 1997 with my B.S. in Special Education.  

In 2006, I completed my Masters in Reading and Literacy. I am certified in early childhood, elementary, generic special education, and mental disabilities.  Also, I have the Read To Succeed endorsement.

I was the 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year at Lake Forest Elementary and 2011 WYFF 4 Golden Apple Award Winner.  

My husband David and I have 3 boys and 2 dogs.  John Martin is starting his second  year at Greenville Tech and works at GE.     Arive is married to Annie and  he owns his own landscaping company.  They ware expected their first child in August!   Charlie is engaged to Madeline and a physical therapy assistant.
