About Mrs. Hawkins

After graduating from Mauldin High School, I earned a BS degree in Business Administration with a double major in Finance and Management from the University of South Carolina. I was a mortgage banking Asst. Vice President for five years before deciding to be a stay at home mom while earning my Master of Arts in teaching degree from Salem College in North Carolina. Since graduating, I have earned my Masters +30 certification and Gifted & Talented endorsement. Additionally, I hold a National Board Professional Teacher Certification in Middle Child Generalist. I have taught all elementary grades and Challenge. I have been in 3rd grade for nine years.

My husband, Stephen, who is also a Carolina alumni, and I have been married for 39 years. We have two boys and a daughter-in-law. Stephen, Jr. is a microbiologist and professional engineer. My husband and I are very grateful that he is working as an engineer in Fountain Inn. William is an engineer and Major in the Air Force. His wife, Marysa, is our wonderful daughter-in-law and is a speech pathologist. They currently live in Alabama. William and Stephen both graduated from Clemson (We are still very proud of them! LOL).

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy biking, walking, hiking, and swimming. I also enjoy shopping at Publix and Walmart. My favorite pass time is eating at McDonalds, McAllister Deli, Panera Bread, and Wendy's.
