My name is Traci Petty and I am originally from Indiana, Pennsylvania - a town about an hour from Pittsburgh. I grew up there with my mom, dad, and brother. They all still live there today! I have been residing in North Carolina since 2001 and this is my 17th year of teaching!!!
I graduated college from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Educational Psychology. I came to North Carolina in August of 2001 as a 4th grade teacher in CMS. I worked in CMS for 5 years and then went to Gaston County for 9 years! I've taught in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades! So excited to be back in CMS.
I have been married for 13 years and my husband is also in Education. We have two children. Our daughter Reese is in the 6th grade, and our son Max is in 2nd grade. We enjoy watching football (although we pull for different teams), camping, spending time outside, and playing baseball! We also have a sweet dog named Dixie!
