Many of you know me from my time working in the front office at Alderman. I am so excited to return to the classroom for my 11th year teaching! I graduated from UNCW in 2006, received my AIG credentials in 2014 and obtained my early childhood administrator credentials in 2018. If you have any questions or suggestions, please reach out to me at katie.griswold@nhcs.net
