Welcome to an exciting school year. My name is Antrichia Ross-El, but I prefer to be called Sha'.  This is my 21st year teaching.  I have taught 14 years in first grade, 6 years in Kindergarten and 1 full virtual year in FIVE.  This is my very first year in the HIVE at Irmo Elementary School and I am beyond excited for this new adventure.  I have a bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education, a Master of Education in Reading and Literacy, and I am also a National Board Certified Teacher with a specialization in Early and Middle Language and Literacy.  I am married and the proud mother of 4 beautiful children. I am also now a very proud grandma (Honey).
