I graduated from Columbia College with a degree in Elementary Education, Generic Special Education, and an endorsement in Learning Disabilities. I received my Masters Degree from Lesley University in Elementary Education with an emphasis on educational technology. I have been teaching for 25 years and am going on my twelve year at H. E. Corley. I live in Gilbert, SC with my three dogs, Jackson, Daisy, and Bella. I have two children and three grandchildren. My hobbies are reading and spending time with my family.

I am excited to start my first year at HEC! This will be my ninth year teaching. Before relocating to SC, I spent the last 8 years teaching in north Florida. I was a Speech Impaired teacher for 3 years and then taught 8th grade US History & Critical Thinking for 5 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Speech and Hearing Science from The Ohio State University. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, reading, and spending time with family and friends. 

My name is Sarah Fijal.  This is my 1st year back into teaching after raising my young family.  My husband and I live here in Irmo with our 2 children.  I am so excited to be here at H E Corley.  Both my children attended preK here and I have loved being a part of this wonderful school.  I love reading books, biking, and going to playgrounds with my kids.   We spend lots of time exploring SC, NC, and GA in our 5th wheel camper.  Looking forward to working with all the great staff and students 

My name is Stacy Parker. I got married in 2009, and I have two children. I graduated from Francis Marion University in 2007 with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology. I was a student at H. E. Corley many years ago, so it is great to be back!
