Second Grade General Education

Welcome! My name is Heather Mullins. This is my fifth year teaching at Newport Grammar School. I taught first grade the last four years. This is my first year in second and I am so excited! I attended NGS as a student and it feels like home! I received my Bachelor's degree from Tusculum University in Elementary Education K-5. I received my Master's degree in Arts of Education from Cumberland University. Teaching is one of the things I enjoy most. I am looking forward to meeting my 2023-2024 second grade class!
