My name is Amy Johnson.  I was born & raised in Raleigh, NC.  I attended Wake County Schools for my entire education & I was a member of the first graduating class of Leesville Road High School.  From there I went to UNC-Wilmington and earned a B.A. in Psychology.  I worked for a few years in my family's insurance business before going back to graduate school at UNC-Greensboro.  There I earned a M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction.  I have taught in Raleigh, High Point and in Clayton; I spent at least 5 years in 5th grade before moving to Middle Grades.  I have taught 6th grade reading and social studies, 7th grade science & social studies and 8th grade science, math and math 1.  My favorite subject to teach is sciences.  I have a 12 year old daughter (7th grade), five year old daughter (Kindergarten) and 18 year old stepson (Fireman).  I love spending time camping with my family on the weekends and lots of time at the soccer field.
