My name is Amanda Donovan and I am so excited to be your teacher this year! This is my 8th year teaching, and my 3rd year at Highland Renaissance Academy! I have previously taught 4th, 2nd and 3rd grades at David Cox Road Elementary but am THRILLED to be your 3rd grade teacher at HRA:) I have a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education (K-6) from Niagara University (Niagara Falls, NY), a Masters Degree in Literacy Education (B-12) from Nazareth College (Rochester, NY) and four teaching licenses in two states- New York and North Carolina.
My family is extremely important to me, and I wish I could see them more. I moved to Charlotte, NC from Rochester, NY where I grew up. Most of my family still lives there, but I am lucky enough to have had my younger sister, Jessica, move here the same time as me! We have both lived in Charlotte since summer 2012 and both are teachers :)
I recently got engaged to my amazing fiance, Steven! Steven and I, along with our sweet dog Sherman, live in Charlotte.
