Hello My Name Is...

Mrs. Grice

 

I grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina.  My parents taught me to appreciate world cultures from an early age.  They traveled to many places around the world and gave me the opportunity to travel some too.  

This is my 25th year of teaching; and my 25th year in Hickory Public Schools.
 I began teaching in August of 1990, at Southwest Elementary, after graduating from Western Carolina University with a Bachelor of Science in Education degree.  My first 7 years were in the regular elementary classroom (Southwest Elementary) - 2nd grade teacher and 3rd grade teacher.  Then I went back to school [University of North Carolina at Charlotte] to get my Master's Degree in ESL.  I began teaching ESL in August of 1998.  Since beginning ESL, I have been asked to teach at Jenkins, Viewmont, Oakwood, Longview, and Southwest Elementary Schools.  In August 2009, I was asked to teach ESL at Grandview Middle School.
