Hi!  My name is Emily Parks and I am the art teacher here at North Duplin Elementary.  I started teaching here in October of 2021, but I have been teaching since 2004.  I have a Bachelor's in Fine Arts Education with a concentration in Metal Design.  I have wanted to teach art since I was in high school.  

I grew up in Mount Olive and my husband and I have one son.  We also have a dog, a cat and chickens.  Our family farms and have been part of the Mount Olive/ Seven Springs community for many years.

In my spare time I love to read, draw, play video games and hang out with my family.  Lord of the Rings is my favorite movie and one of my favorite book series also.
