My name is Connie S. Douglas and I began my teaching career at Druid Hills Elementary School in Charlotte, NC After teaching in CMS for ten years, I moved to Cabarrus County Schools where I worked in middle school for thirteen and a half years. I left middle schoolers and spent the next twelve years teaching at the community college and university levels. I have returned to the classroom to obtain the last few years I need toward retirement. I am the proud mother of Reynolds 25 who is an ER nurse and Raygan 23 who has started her career at AAA of Carolinas. I have a seven- year old Shih Tzu named Lila and a one- year old cat named Babs. I enjoy working in my yard, cooking for my daughter, and watching sports with my friends.
