Hi! I am Mariah McCarter and this will be my 7^th year at Hunter Street Elementary. Being a husky is the absolute best!  I am from York, SC and live in the historic district where we LOVE fixing up our old home (built in 1787)! I am a graduate of Winthrop University in early childhood education and am currently working on my AMS certification in Montessori.  I love spending time with family! My husband, Zack, my 2 year old son, Sloan, and my 3 dogs, Emmylou, Hobie, and Brady!  We also have a little lady, Elowyn, on the way. She will be here in October.  I love to garden, travel, and shop!

I am so excited to be your child’s Montessori teacher this school year. I look forward to getting to know your child and guiding him/her to greater independence through lots of hands-on learning experiences. I started teaching in 1995 and have taught Pre-K, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and special education. I fell in love with the Montessori philosophy while visiting a Montessori school in 2014. I was so inspired that I immediately enrolled in a Montessori teacher training program. I have been teaching in a Montessori setting ever since! As I will be getting to know your child, I will also let you get to know me too! I currently live in Lake Wylie, SC with my husband and three children. I love animals and have 3 dogs and I raise chickens. I also love gardening and am so happy to share the joy of gardening with my class. I enjoy traveling, especially to hike through beautiful national parks.  I also love running, swimming, and biking, and at any given time may be training for a triathlon, half-marathon or marathon! I am looking forward to a great year.
