Mrs. Leighton Mount

Hello! My name is Leighton Mount, and I am so happy to be your child's 4K teacher! I am new to this grade level and to District 5 after having spent the last 6 years teaching for a public charter school in West Columbia. While there, I taught third grade for 4 years and first grade for 2 years, so I am very excited to begin this new adventure!
   
I attended River Springs Elementary for 5K-5th, Crossroads, Dutch Fork Middle, and Dutch Fork High, so coming home to teach for this district has always been my dream. I went on to receive a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from Columbia College and a Master's of Science in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governors University. 
 
I have been married to my husband for 8 years, and we have four precious cats that we call our fur babies. I enjoy reading, shopping, camping, singing, dancing and acting, so when I am not "onstage" teaching a group of students, I can usually be found on the stage of one of Columbia's various performing arts venues. After school, I am the assistant director and an instructor for the Broadway Bound Musical Theatre Company, which is now entering its 25th year. I am so proud to be an H.E.C. crocodile and look forward to a year of fun and learning as we work together to help your child achieve their goals!
