My name is Ms. Maevers. I am a teacher at Dixon High School. I am from Blairsville, Georgia. which is a small town located in the heart of the North Georgia Mountains. I attended Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina, where I received a B.S.E.D. degree.
I have been teaching for five years in North Carolina. During my educational career I have taught English I, English II, English III and English IV. In these five years I have been an assistant cheer-leading coach, I have been a head cheer-leading coach, and I am the faculty adviser for the Dixon Improv Team. I have been to a Summer AVID Institute, and I have devoted myself to being a life long learner.
You may be wondering why I became a high school English teacher. The answer to this is simple, I love the literature covered in high school English Courses and I want to pass on the knowledge that I have gained throughout the years to others. When I teach others I feel an overwhelming since of accomplishment. Teaching is my passion, reading is my love and I am lucky enough to be able to combine both my passion and my love into my job.
