About Me

My name is Megan King. I am a 6th grade ELA teacher at Cedartown Middle School. I am beginning my tenth year teaching. This is my seventh year at CMS. My first two years, I taught high school in Alabama. 

I graduated high school from Alexandria High School in Alexandria, AL. I received my bachelor's degree from Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, AL (Go Gamecocks!). I graduated with honors in Secondary English Language Arts. I am currently studying at Berry College to obtain my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I will graduate in December!

As an educator, I want all of my students to feel seen and heard in my classroom. I want them to know that they have someone at school who truly cares about them. I also want to teach in a way that my students understand what I teach them. I know I teach a subject that students don't always enjoy, but my goal is to get them to like it a little better by the end of the year. I want them to be prepared for what is in the future, so I will push my students to be the best that they can be, in academics and in life. The most important thing is that I want my classroom to be a safe space for my students.

I live in Alabama with my husband, Stefan. We have been married for ten years, but we have been together for fourteen years! We had twins in March of this year! They are the light of my life. I love reading, playing games, singing, movies (Harry Potter, Twilight, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Marvel movies, DC movies), pink, traveling (I want to go to Paris!), football (ROLL TIDE!!), the NBA, going to concerts, photography (I took the picture above and some to the left), pizza, pasta, and ice cream. My favorite authors are J.K. Rowling, Angie Thomas, Nicholas Sparks, Jane Austen, Suzanne Collins, Freida McFadden, Kristin Hannah, Sarah Dessen, Colleen Hoover, and Stephanie Myers.
