Welcome to 5th grade! My name is Denise Nixon and I am ecstatic to have the opportunity to work with you this year! This is my 12th year teaching, but my first in 5th grade. I am originally from Boone, NC and graduated from Watauga High School in 1999. Although I received my degree in elementary education from High Point University, I began my college adventure at Appalachian State and will forever be a proud mountaineer! I now live in Liberty with my husband of eighteen years and we have an adorable ball of fluff named Marlo. The students will hear A LOT about her and my love for shopping, coffee, running and shoes. I also love reading, the pool, beach, and learning more about how to improve myself in the classroom. I completed my master's degree in 2015 from High Point University and am always looking for other ways to grow and learn. In 2013 and in 2020 I was blessed to be named as Teacher of the Year at Teachey and Gray's Chapel Elementary respectively. I am looking forward to a fantastic year and couldn't be more excited to start my journey in 5th grade!
