Mrs. Freeman earned degrees from NC State University, Meredith College, Appalachian State University, and High Point University.  She is married and has two college aged sons.  Mrs. Freeman’s  first teacher was her mother who served as a teacher for thirty seven years and still substitutes today.  When not at school, you might find Mrs. Freeman dancing, singing, and walking numerous miles on her dirt road with her two Dutch Shepherds.  Mrs. Freeman began her career in Wilkes County and has served at Erwin Middle for twenty three years.  She readily admits she “never intended to be a teacher” but “is certain that answering the call to education is one she never regrets.”  Coming to school each day and serving students brings great joy to Mrs. Freeman’s heart.  Her hope is that each student she is lucky enough to teach not only learns  ELA material but learns to love themselves as much as she loves them.
