Hi! Welcome to 4th grade! My name is Julie Hay and I’m excited to be your child’s teacher! I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio, and happily moved to sunny NC in 2004 to begin my teaching career! I’m a National Board- Certified teacher with an education degree from the University of Akron. I also earned my master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of New England. I taught 3rd grade at Heritage Elementary in Wake Forest for many years before joining the 4th and 5th grade teams here at Pleasant Union. I’m so proud to be a PUE Teacher & Parent!
When I’m not teaching I enjoy baking, crafting, hiking, and spending time with my kids! I have a 14 year old daughter, Tori, who went to PUE for K - 5th grade, and will be attending Leesville High School this year! I also have an all sport-loving, game-playing son, Ryan, who just turned 11 and will be in 5th grade this year at PUE!
