Hi! My name is April Grant, and I am one of the ELA teachers of the fifth grade team. This is my fourth year teaching and I am thrilled to be at Dewey L. Carter Elementary. I have a great passion for teaching and I work hard to engage students in learning through high-energy and hands-on lessons.  I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, and earned my Bachelors Degree from Francis Marion University. Then I went on to earn a Masters in Management and a Masters in Business from Webster University. I later obtained a Masters in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my husband Corey and two girls Faith (10) and Cortney (3).  We love to travel, visit waterparks, and attend various sport events. My goal is to always create a safe and fun learning environment for your children while preparing them for the sixth grade. I am excited and looking forward to teaching and learning with your child this year.
