About us...

Hi, my name is Mrs. Harkness! I am thrilled to be your fourth-grade teacher this year!  I am originally from Salisbury, NC. I  moved to Wilmington, NC, in 2002 to attend UNCW. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from NC Wesleyan. This will be my 8th year teaching fourth grade at Holly Tree! Before teaching Elementary Education, I taught preschool and after-school for 10 years. When I am not teaching, you can find me spending time with my family or at the baseball field.         

I am married and have two wonderful children. I have a daughter, Emma, who will be a senior this year at Hoggard, and a son, Scotty, who will be in 8th grade at Roland Grise. I have a dog, Maverick, that is my wild child!. My favorite things in life are God, my family (and pets!), my students, teaching, baseball, and coffee! 

Hi, my name is Ms. Hines.
