My name is Brandi Floyd- Francis and this is my 22nd year as a Visual Arts teacher for grades k-5. I am a two time National Board certified teacher and I love teaching my students to "keep art in their hearts." I graduated from the University of S.C. with a bachelors and masters in art education. My husband and I live in Chapin with our 14 year old son Braydyn, who is in the 9th grade at Gray Collegiate Academy. I am a graduate of The University of South Carolina so Go Gamecocks! I am also your HEC Teacher of the Year for 2022/2023 and I am excited to represent everything awesome here at HEC!
