From: House grew up in Northeast Ohio and had family who moved down to North Carolina. She attended Apex High School for her sophomore year and then moved back to Ohio to finish high school.
College: House attended Wake Tech Community College before transferring to N.C. State, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in mathematics education and graduated with honors.
Work experience: House previously worked at Salem Middle School as a fill in for a teacher on maternity leave and completed her student teaching at Cary High School.
Reason for becoming a teacher: “I have always wanted to teach. Both my parents were teachers so it just made sense for me to become a teacher too.” She goes on to say that the reason she chose to teach math was because she has always loved the subject. “I was always good at math and it has always made sense to me. My favorite part of math is Algebra, solving equations in a sequence.”
Advice for students: Her biggest advice for students is to advocate for themselves. “Don’t be afraid to ask for help, all the teachers at this school would love to help you if you are struggling in any subject. All you have to do is ask otherwise they may not know you are in need of help.”
