Hey Huskies! My name is Ross Lenard and this is my second year at Hunter Street as the art teacher. I graduated from Western Carolina University with a Bachelors in Art Education. I love helping students create and grow in the visual arts. I have lived in Clover South Carolina my entire life. When I'm not in my classroom I love being outdoors. Hunting, fishing, and camping keep my weekends busy. My love of the arts doesn't stop with visual art, I also love listening to and creating music. I am a percussionist, which means you'll find me tapping my fingers through every song that comes on. I am so excited to be at Hunters Street ALL YEAR. Can't wait to see what this year has in store!

My name is Mrs. Parker and I teach the gifted and talented students in the MERIT program here at Hunter Street. This will be my 22^nd year in the classroom. I have been teaching at HSES for 16 years of those years! Before that, I was a teacher in Ohio. I went to college at The University of Akron. When I became a gifted and talented teacher, I was inspired to work for my Master’s in Gifted Education. As the years passed and technology became more prevalent in education, I discovered a passion for integrating tech into the classroom, so I returned to graduate school for my Specialist’s Degree in Educational Technology. I love helping others—students and teachers learn new tricks and apps that enhance learning and make it fun.

I love to travel, and my husband and I will soon have opportunities to visit our two boys in Texas and Japan! We love to visit state and national parks to hike and take in nature. I think South Carolina has the most beautiful parks around. When I’m at home, I love backyard birdwatching with my six cats.
