Hi! I am Kayla Mullis and I am a 5th grade teacher here at India Hook Elementary! 5th grade is such an exciting year and I look forward to working with each of you! I was born and raised in Fort Mill, where I graduated from Nation Ford High School. In 2013, I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Winthrop University (GO EAGLES!). During my senior year at Winthrop, I completed my internship at India Hook, and after graduating, joined the Pirate staff as a 4th grade teacher! This will be my seventh year teaching. I taught 4th grade for two years before moving to 5th, where I have been for the past four years. When I am not at school, I love to cook, read, complete DIY projects, spend time with my friends and family, and get outdoors with my dog Haddie. At the end of last year I got engaged! My fiancé’s name is Michael. I will be gaining a step son name Eli! He is one awesome kid! We are looking forward to this next chapter! I am a HUGE Carolina Panther fan! I am an Aunt to Saylor Wrenn and Maddux and absolutely love the “Auntie” life. I find true joy in my job as an educator, and look forward to an amazing year.
