Ms. Erica McFarland

Hello Selma family! My name is Erica McFarland and I teach 7th grade math here at Selma Middle. This is my 6th year teaching and 2nd year at Selma Middle. I am also the Head Coach for cheerleading! Last year, I coached for Football and Basketball seasons and chorographed the routine for the Selma Middle's Step Team (Showcase of Stars). Being able to work with the students during extracurriculum activities was a great experience. Before I came to Selma Middle in 2019, I taught at a private school in Wake County (2015), where I taught all middle school math, Algebra 1, Personal Finance and Career Development. Before I began teaching, I worked as an Accountant for 11 years for Fidelity Bank and State Employees' Credit Union. I earned my B.S. in Accounting in 2002 and my MBA in 2008. Afterwards, I opened my own fitness studio in Clayton. I enjoy teaching my Dance Fitt exercise class because I love music and I love to dance! It also gives me the opportunity to meet people and change lives. I have two children, a dog (Paul) and a cat (Clarence). I am excited about the 2020-2021 school year and many more to come!!!

Updated Social Distancing Procedures

Information on social distancing in school settings has been recently updated by the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS). Upon receiving information from the NCDHHS, we consulted with the Johnston County Public Health Department on the impact these updates will have on our school system. This ongoing collaboration continues to guide our decision-making as students return to classrooms for in-person instruction.
