My name is Stephanie Nash Witten. This is my 15th year in education. I have taught kindergarten, first, and second grade at Lingerfeldt Elementary, Woodhill Elementary and Hawks Nest STEAM Academy. I also am the Elementary Media PLC Leader for Gaston County Schools.

I'm also a Pinnacle Leader of Technology for Gaston County and was awarded Beginning Teacher of the Year for my school in 2009 and was a top five finalist for the county.

I live in Gastonia with my husband, Cole and our two beautiful daughters named Charlotte and Samantha.

I am a graduate of Robinson Elementary, Cramerton Middle, and Forestview High School.  I received my bachelors degree in Elementary Education from UNC Charlotte and my masters degree in Educational Media/Instructional Technology from Appalachian State.
