Hi! I'm Samantha Rouse, and I am excited about teaching 4th grade ELA at BF Grady this year!

I started teaching in 2006 at East Duplin High School, and since that time, I've had a broad range of experience in education including:

     - all levels of high school English in Duplin and Jones Counties

     - 8th grade ELA in Duplin County

     - assistant principal in Duplin County

     - digital learning specialist in Lenoir County

     - K-5 STEM, 1st grade, 3rd grade, and 5th grade in Lenoir County

I attended the University of Mount Olive and East Carolina University.

I live just down the road from Grady in Albertson with my husband and three sons.  My oldest son is at East Duplin High School this year, and my younger two sons are with me at BF Grady. Being a teacher and a mama are some of the biggest joys in my life.

We are going to have a wonderful year!
