About Mrs. Rawson

Hello! My name is Summer Rawson. I'm almost a South Carolina native. I moved to  Greenville from Georgia when I was 2.  I was lucky enough to grow up in Greenville County Schools. I went to Alexander Elementary, Duncan Chapel Elementary, Lakeview Middle, and Berea High. I graduated from Berea with highest honors in 1998. Go Bulldogs! 

I attended Coker College, in Hartsville, SC and received my degree in elementary education in 2002. After I graduated, I taught 5th grade at Welcome Elementary under the leadership of my former 5th grade teacher. In 2003, I was hired here at Slater-Marietta Elementary. It is one of the best things that has happened to me! I'm highly qualified to teach elementary school and love continuing my education with masters level classes and workshops. 

Here at Slater-Marietta, I taught 5th grade for 10 years. I loved teaching 5th graders! I then went on to teach computer lab for four years. Now that I'm back in a regular classroom, I love it! This will be my sixth year teaching 4th grade. 

My husband and I live in a nice little house over by Furman University. We have a mischievous cat named Maxine. In my free time I love to read, bake, do arts and crafts, garden, and listen to music. My parents live nearby and we get together for dinner and game night often. 

This is my 21st year at Slater-Marietta Elementary. I love this community and am proud to serve it!
