About Ms. Hughes
My name is Ms. Sarah K Hughes. I am from Fayetteville. I am a 1996 graduate of Westover Senior High School. I moved to Ohio where I graduated from Bowling Green State University with my Bachelor in Biology with a Minor in General Sciences. May 2017, I graduated from Fayetteville State University with my Masters of Biology in Secondary Education. I am currently a student at Appalachian State University pursuing a post-master certificate in Instructional Technology Leadership. I was also a Nationally Certified Pharmacy Technician for 20 years. In 2006, I moved back to Fayetteville where I started my teaching career. I taught high school Biology, Earth Science, and Anatomy & Physiology. I was also a adjunct Biology instructor at Fayetteville Technical Community College for 5 years.
Along with my love of science, I love teaching, the arts, traveling (when I get the chance), sports, reading and most of all my daughter, Ava.
My teaching philosophy
“Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela
I believe, teachers, have the ability to change our world. Not just to teach our students the content areas, but to teach them skills to empower and inspire them. To show our students that they can make a difference in our world for the better. I believe above all else, showing our students we believe in them, opens the mind, spirit and their potential to soar in learning and in life.
