Mrs. Carina McGee
Hello and welcome to Aiken High School! My name is Carina McGee, and 2021-2022 will be my third year teaching at Aiken High.
I am incredibly passionate about the value of independent reading, and want my students to take control of their learning as much as possible. My goal is to pass along an appreciation for the classics, while sparking enjoyment in reading of all kinds. You can view a complete list of books in my classroom library on the page on the left!
I am very much a grandmother at heart and love to cook, bake, and crochet in my spare time. My husband and I enjoy board games and going to local trivia nights, while our rescue cats Vanilla Bean and Momo spend their time sunbathing and eating our house plants.
***All classroom assignments and documents will be housed on our Schoology pages***
