Mrs. Chisolm

My name is Tiana Chisolm. I am from Rock Hill, SC. This is my 5th year at Jefferson Elementary where I've been a Kindergarten assistant, 2nd grade teacher and now I'm in 5K! I graduated from the Illustrious South Carolina State University and received my masters in Elementary Education from University of Phoenix. I have a 5 year old son who keeps me on my toes daily. 
 
When I'm not at school I enjoy exercising, crafting, doing jigsaw puzzles, and reading. You can also find me on the court, playing, coaching, or training basketball or having brunch because I love FOOD! I love everything Disney, UNC Tarheels, science, and of course TARGET!!!

Mrs. Hutchison

Hello, 

My name is Moriah Hutchison. A lot of my former students still know me by and call me "Mrs. Ginn". Marriage changes things, in the best way. 

I am originally a Georgia peach, but I have lived in South Carolina most of my life. I have always known that I would work with children in some capacity, and I feel that teaching is my calling. I received my BS in Early Childhood Education from Winthrop University. I have taught 1st Grade, 4K, and Kindergarten. When I'm not at school, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and trying new things!​ I love all things Disney and Marvel. I relate to the students because I feel like I'm still a kid at heart. I am so thrilled to be at Jefferson with some incredible staff and students!

Mrs. Godshall

I am a native of York, South Carolina. I have been married for 10 years and have a five year old son attending Kindergarten at Jefferson Elementary.  My professional experiences include working as both a medical office assistant and as an administrative support in the legal field. Most recently I have been a 3k teacher's assistant in Rock Hill, SC. Having the opportunity to help teach and grow young minds has been so rewarding to me in many ways and I am honored and excited to be a part of the Jefferson Elementary family. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, reading,  hiking trails and exploring nature with my family.

Ms. Shannon

Hi, my name is Lynn Shannon.  I have been a Kindergarten teacher’s assistant and Special Education assistant at Jefferson Elementary for 17 years.  One of my passions has always been to work with people in general, especially children.  It’s exciting to watch children that you’ve helped to mold their little minds graduate from high school and go out into the world as young adults.  I have one son, Cameron, who graduated from York in 2018.  He is now a student athlete at Clinton College.  Although working with children is one of my passions, my biggest passion is watching Cameron out there on the basketball court.

Mrs. Phillips

I love teaching at Jefferson Elementary and have been here for 23 years.  I teach Kindergarten but have also taught first grade as well. I am married to David Phillips and we are both originally from Louisiana.
I have 3 grown children who have all attended JES when they were younger and graduated from York School District One.  I am very proud to say that I also have 6 very active grandchildren ages 4 and under.  I enjoy the outdoors and love to kayak and hike different trails around our beautiful area.

I feel so privileged to be able to teach children during their beginning years of school.  I hope to provide each student that comes into my classroom an inviting place to learn, the confidence to try, the knowledge to succeed, and the desire to continue to learn more.
