About Ms. Greene

Although a native North Carolinian, I have lived and traveled to numerous states throughout the country.  However, it is Union County that has captured my adventurous spirit with the endless opportunities it has to offer.  It not only offers a mix of rural and metropolitan charm, but exemplifies a community of warmth, whereby all members are valued.

As an administrator within the Prospect Elementary Bear Cub family, I diligently strive to ensure high levels of learning for all students.  It is my goal that our students' lives are enriched with opportunities, yet challenged to become expressive thinkers and life-long learners.  It is my belief that education is not just a series of classes or subjects, but a chance to maximize each child's horizon in a very global society.

While working as a teacher, curriculum coordinator, and administrator, I realize that mediocrity is not an option for our clients in which we serve.  You send us your best and we, as leaders, must ensure that we continue your child's growth and success along their journey in school and life.  I am truly thankful to be a part of the Bear Cub family and friends.
