Ms. Higdon

Hi there, Taylors Topcats!! My name is Ms. Higdon and I am the Media Specialist at Taylors Elementary. This is my first year at Taylors and I am so pumped to be a Topcat! For the past four years, I was the Media Specialist at Greer Middle. Before that, I taught 6th and 7th grade Social Studies at Greer Middle for seven years. I got my undergraduate degree from North Greenville University, my Masters from Anderson University, and my Library Certification from Marshall University. I'm excited to be at my alma mater, Taylors Elementary. 

In my free time, I love to read (especially books that are also interesting to my students), watch Heartland, spend time with my horse, Faith, and with my family. I have two nephews, Bryson and Harrison, and a niece, Lyla Kate. They are the best! I also have a cat named Belle and sometimes she stars in my library videos! I also teach beginner horseback riding at Bramblewood Stables and I love being around horses. 

Quick Fun Facts About Me: 

• My favorite book series of ALL TIME is Animorphs. I have the whole series, six action figures, and a button. I'm also currently listening to the whole series on audiobook.

• I like to read middle grade and children's books! I really like to be able to talk with my students about the books they're interested in.

• I love going to Universal Orlando and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I am a big Harry Potter fan!

• I am working on training my horse, Faith, in liberty work and hope to one day teach her lots of tricks!

• I go to Brushy Creek Baptist Church and love it there!
