Mrs. Henson
I have taught at Pickens High School since 2000 and have worked with many different classes and activities. These include English 9, 10, 11, and 12; Honors English 10 and 11; Contemporary Literature; and Journalism. I've also sponsored the Academic Bowl team, the National Beta Club, SnapDragons Photography Club, the Prom Committee, and the PHS Student Government Association.
While any job can have its ups and downs, I can honestly say that I love being a teacher. Thoughts of other careers crossed my mind as a child, and I'd still love to own my own book store, but teaching was always the profession for me. My first grade teacher, Mrs. Sweat, even told my mom that she was certain I would grow up to earn a living teaching others. I'm very glad she was right. There may be days when you think I don't enjoy my job because, as you know, school can be stressful, but I really am glad I get to work with each of you!
I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in English at North Georgia College & State University and completed my Specialist's degree in 2012 through an online program with Valdosta State University.
I sincerely look forward to working with you, and I hope that this is the best semester of school that any of us has ever known!
GO DRAGONS!
