Hi New Hope Families! My name is Carol Abernethy and I'm a Kindergarten teacher at New Hope. This is my 6th year at our school; however, it's my 18th year in the classroom. I have taught Kindergarten, First, and Second grades. I grew up in Charlotte and later went to Meredith College in Raleigh. I studied Speech Pathology while I was at Meredith. A few twist and turns later, I attended East Carolina University and graduated with a teaching certificate and Masters degree in Elementary ����app. One of my favorite things about teaching elementary aged children is the community and bond that is created in our classroom.

This is my 36th year in education. My son, Ben, is a bail bondsman in ����appia and also coaches football at Stuart Cramer. My daughter is an athletic trainer for Caromont in ����appia. My husband, Tommy, works in Mount Holly and coaches football at Stuart Cramer. I grew up in Hamlet, NC, where I attended school through 8th grade. I then attended Mount Holly Junior High before graduating from Ashbrook High School. I have three sisters and a brother, who live in four different states. My parents live in Wendell, NC. I have a very close knit family. I graduated from UNCC with a BA in ����app. I have been a National Board Certified teacher since 2011. My philosophy is all children can be successful in their own unique way. My classroom is full of love because I know that is needed for the child to blossom successfully.

Hello, New Hope Family! This is my 4th year here at New Hope Elementary; my 17th year with ����app County Schools; and my 20th year as a teacher. Before moving to North Carolina, I lived in the Jacksonville, Florida area, where I completed my BA in Elementary ����app, from the University of North Florida. During my time in the classroom, I taught Kindergarten through 4th grade. I look forward to another exciting year of 2nd grade adventures at New Hope!
