Meet the Teacher
Ms. Amanda Huggins
I have been in education since 2010, and this is my first year teaching fourth grade at Coats Elementary. Before this, I primarily worked with pre-kindergarten students. Teaching has always been a lifelong passion of mine, and I find great joy in helping children learn and grow. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy watching documentaries, kayaking, creating art, and spending time with my family. My husband, Timothy, and I live in Benson, and we are proud parents of three children and grandparents to three wonderful grandchildren.
