My name is Tammy McCarthy. I am super excited to join the H.E. Corley family as an Upper Elementary Montessori teacher this year! I graduated from California University of PA with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I graduated From Cambridge College with a Master's Degree in Education. I'm certified in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Primary Montessori, Lower Elementry Montessori and Upper Elementary Montessori. I am also National Board Certified. I have taught all grades from 3K-6th grade in traditinal and Montessori settings over the last 24 years, but have found Montessori to be my calling. Origianaly from the Chicago suburbs, I moved to Irmo 25 years ago with my husband, Dave and 2 step children who are now adults with kids of their own, making me a proud grandma of 4 grandsons ages 16, 14, 6 and 8 months. We also have a 15 year old daughter named Maddy who attends Dutch Fork H.S. Go Foxes!
