My name is Heather Gardner, and I am a Ninety Six native. Teaching in the district I have so many wonderful memories of attending is a dream come true. After graduating from Ninety Six High School, I furthered my education at Lander University, and graduated cum laude with a degree in Elementary Education in 2006. In 2010, I returned to school and began an online program through Grand Canyon University, where I received a Master’s Degree in Literacy Curriculum and Instruction in 2012. I have been teaching for seventeen years, and this is my fourteenth year teaching 4th grade. Prior to teaching 4th grade, I taught 3rd grade for three years here at Ninety Six Elementary. I am married to Ronnie Gardner, and we reside here in Ninety Six. He also graduated from Ninety Six High School, so our blood will always run maroon and gold! We have a daughter, Braylin, who turned five in May, and is our pride and joy!
