TEACHER OF THE YEAR        

Desirae Lowery              

I was born and raised here in Sumter, SC and I find it very gratifying to now be a teacher in the same area where I was once a student! I attended Lander University where I majored in Music Education. After my first year, I decided to transfer back home to Morris College, where I obtained my Undergraduate degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Recreation Administration. While at Morris, I became a member of the best sorority, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. In 2016, I passed another milestone in life and obtained my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction: STEAM from Concordia University.

I am a 4th grade teacher at HHES and I absolutely love my students! This is my third year at High Hills and I love working with such great individuals. I also have the pleasure of serving as the next Campus Teacher of the Year 2017-2018 and I am looking forward to what the future holds. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, writing and singing music, and playing sports.
