About Mrs. James


I earned my undergraduate degree in elementary education from Lander University. I also earned a masters degree in elementary guidance from Clemson University. This is my second year teaching at Hollywood Elementary School, but I have been in education for 29  years. I have taught fifth, seventh, and eighth grade and also served as an elementary counselor for eight years. 
       I have one son who is currently attending The University of South Carolina in Columbia. My husband and I have just relocated to the midlands and live on Lake Murray. 
     Some of my favorite things are reading, gardening, boating, shopping, traveling, and spending time with family. I have two pets, one cat named Gabby and a Springer Spaniel named Cleo.  One of my favorite things about teaching is getting to know each student and watching the changes they go through as they grow and develop into young adults.
