This year your student has two teachers! :) The team is made up of Ally Harrison and Sarah Wales, working together in developing goals, lesson plans, activities, and the learning environment of your child's classroom. Benefits for your student include additional opportunities for differentiation, access to strategies from two teachers, and a lower student to teacher ratio. We are really excited to be "classroomies" this year and we look forward to working with you and your child!
Mrs. Harrison
Welcome! I am one of your child's first grade teachers, Ally Harrison.
We are going to have a very fun and productive year together!
I'm a North Carolina native! I was born in Charlotte and grew up in Apex. I graduated from UNC-Wilmington where I studied Elementary Education & Psychology. Go Seahawks! I taught one year of kindergarten in Wilmington before moving here to Highcroft. This is my sixth year teaching first grade and I absolutely love it! It makes me so happy to watch my students learn and grow throughout the school year. I love the beach - it's my favorite place to be! I'm a Carolina Panthers and Duke Basketball fan. My husband and I are proud parents to our spoiled dog, Charlee. She loves belly rubs and playing fetch.

Hello first grade families! I am so excited to be one of your child's teachers this year, Sarah Wales! It is going to be a fabulous year in first grade!
I originally grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia, but I love calling Cary, North Carolina my new home. I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Development from Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!) and a Master's in Elementary Education from The College of William & Mary. In my free time, I enjoy reading, going to the beach, traveling, baking gluten free treats, and going to the gym. In the summer, I spend a lot of my time managing my small business, The Little Whales, which is a swim lesson business that teaches children of all ages how to swim in their own backyard pool. I love first grade and I can't wait to meet you! I look forward to creating a memorable and fun first grade experience for your child! Let's have a great year!
