When deciding to attend High Point University as a high school senior, my decision was heavily based on all that was offered through the Elementary Education program. I’ve known I wanted to be a teacher since I was in elementary school, so the rigor in courses, encouraging staff and overall experience-based learning solidified that HPU's Stout School of Education would help me become the best teacher I could possibly be.
