Meet Emily Smith

Teacher Ambassador

Beaufort County is “home” to me. As a product of Beaufort County Schools, I am honored to teach in the same school I attended as a child. Our community truly values education and offers immense support to our schools. Our district is extremely supportive of teachers and staff. We deepen our knowledge and improve the educational experience of our students through professional development and other opportunities. It is wonderful to work in a district where everyone’s shared priority is our students.

Why I Teach

My students are my “why” and drive my passion for teaching. No two days are the same, and I sincerely look forward to spending each day with them. I love building relationships with each of them and playing a part in their growth and success as students.
