PRESIDENT:

It is an honor to serve as the statewide president of SCTA this year.

I am working on my B.A. in Liberal Studies to pursue my Multiple Subject Credential, and I hope to someday teach in an elementary classroom.

My SCTA membership goes so far beyond just my profession; this is a family that I work hard for.
