My name is Tammy McCarthy. I am excited about joining the Seven Oaks team as a first grade teacher this year! This is my 24th year teaching. I have taught all grades from 3K- 6th grade. I have a background in both traditional and Montessori education. I am originally from Chicago, Il. I have also lived in Michigan, Wisconsin, California and Pennsylvania before settling with my family here in the Columbia, SC area where we have lived for the last 24 years. I am married and we have 1 child, Madelyn, age 14, still at home. I also have 2 adult stepchildren and 3 grandchildren with a 4th on the way this December.
