Career Technology Education (CTE) provides all students opportunities to explore and enhance possibilities for future education or preparing for a career. Students choose a career path/major and then select courses that correspond to their choice. Career Clusters are made up of two or more majors or areas of academic focus. A major consists of at least four required units of study in the area plus complementary electives. In order to complete a major, it is recommended that students take one higher level course within the major. Students who complete four units in a specified area obtain completer status and may qualify for advanced standing when pursuing education beyond high school. Many classes fall within Horry County Schools Articulation agreement guidelines with Horry Georgetown Technical College, which exempts students from some HGTC classes.

Hello Shark Community! I graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelors of Education with prior teaching experience in the elementary setting. I earned my Associates of Nursing from Horry-Georgetown Tech and my Bachelors of Nursing from Capella University. I am also a South Carolina Registered Nurse. Prior to teaching at St. James High School, I was an operating room circulating and scrub nurse at a local medical center. I am BLS, ACLS, and PALS certified. My nursing career experiences also include providing direct patient care with administration of COVID monoclonal antibodies, primary doctors care offices, med-surg, and long-term care. Biking, running, and Spartan races are a few of my favorite things to do. My husband and I have two daughters, both in college, and two really adorable dogs, Charlie and Murray.
