About Our Class & Me

Hello, I am Sharon Russo!

I am so excited to be your child's teacher.  This is my 24th year teaching and my sixth year at Mauldin Elementary.  I love being a Mighty Eagle!  I am Iooking  forward to getting to know all of you and your children.  I am originally from Greenville.  I graduated from The University South Carolina with an Interdisciplinary Studies Degree (concentration in Early Childhood) and have a Masters Degree from Converse College in Special Education. Over the years, I have taught K4, at Greenville Tech in their Early Childhood Department, a developmental class at the Meyer Center, and at the Washington Center. 

      I have been married to my husband, Brent, for 23 years.  We have two boys who are 20 and 17.  My oldest is at LSU and my youngest is a senior in HIgh School. My highschooler is heavily involved in sports so that keeps me very busy!  I have little two dogs (my girls!). I enjoy watching football, drinking coffee, reading and being on the water---both at the beach and the lake!  Please contact me by email or phone at any time.

There are two Para-pros in our classroom as well.  Mrs. Tia has been working at Mauldin for over ten years!  Tia has a music education degree from Anderson University.  She has a beautiful voice, and loves to sing in class with the students. She is married to her college sweatheart, and  has two daughters, Kya and Karis.  Karis is in college at Anderson University. Kya is going to be a first   Tia is a huge Clemson fan.  Her favorite color is orange.  She loves coffee, singing, and being with her family.


Mrs. Peggy has been working in the Early Childhood field for over 28 years as a teacher and a director.  She has been married for over 25 years and has two girls, Rebecca and Amanda.  Rebecca is finishing her Masters in Biblical Studies at Liberty University, and has enjoyed traveling the country working at different National Parks.  Amanda will be a senior at Charleston Southern.  She works on Seabrook and coaches softball. Peggy enjoys walking outside, anything sweet, and is very active in her church.
