About Me

Mrs. Price (formerly Ms. DuVal before her marriage) is an award-winning educator with more than a dozen years of classroom experience. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Richmond in 2008 with a B.A. in Leadership Studies and departmental honors. After graduation, Mrs. Price joined AmeriCorps as part of a two-year program called Teach for America. She began her teaching career at C.C. Spaulding Elementary in downtown Durham, NC as a second-grade teacher and grade-level chairperson. Most recently, she taught Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) and served as the Career and Technical Education (CTE) department chair at West Cary Middle School in the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS), where her middle schoolers won multiple awards for their hard work as well! Mrs. Price drew on her experiences in early childhood education as she taught her FCS students about child development from ages 0-10, and she was proud to lead West Cary to receive the highest childcare scores in the district based on their last end-of-course standardized test.

Because of the unique leadership and travel opportunities she began to have in FCS as a sixth grader, Mrs. Price loves introducing students to CTE through Family and Consumer Sciences and its Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO): Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA).  

Mrs. Price first served as an FCCLA chapter president in middle school and then again in high school as a tenth grader.  She was elected to serve as state president as an eleventh grader and as an FCCLA national vice president as a twelfth grader. In college, she served as the president of her state's Alumni and Associates (A&A) Executive Board and began staffing the annual State Leadership Conference. As a chapter adviser, her students have won four national program awards! Mrs. Price has served as the State Executive Council (SEC) adviser to two state officers. She has worked on an FCCLA state staff team for over a decade and currently works as the social media manager for a state association and supports their SEC.
