fter graduation from Pickens High School in 1973, I became a teacher's 
assistant in the Pickens County Child Development program.
 For thirteen years, I worked with 3, 4 and 5 year-old children and with many 
wonderful teachers and assistants. My husband and parents began to encourage me to go to college to 
earn my teaching degree. In 1986, I began taking university transfer courses at 
Tri-County Technical College and received my  Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood/Elementary 
with honors from Southern Wesleyan University in December 1993. 
In February 2005, I began the Master of Education program at Southern Wesleyan University
and graduated May 6, 2006.

 This web site is dedicated in memory of my parents,
Dr. George and Nancy Case, who both passed away in 1998.
Their encouragement, love and guidance helped me become the teacher I am today.
