Meet the Teacher

Mrs. Matthews

I teach 6th grade English Language Arts. I have been a teacher at HCMS for 16 years. I have taught both 6th and 7th grades ELA. I also attended HCMS and HCHS as a student.  I attended East Carolina University from 2001-2005 while competing on the Women's Golf Team, and earned my degree in English.  After a short 3 year stint of testing the waters in professional golf, I returned home to teach at HCMS.  I was also recently inducted into the ECU Athletics Hall of Fame.

I am married with 2 step-sons, a 5 year old who keeps me very busy, a sweet Chocolate Lab named Buck and a cat named Chip. We enjoy fishing, spending summers down in Oriental, NC, and just spending time together.

I am so excited about this school year, and looking forward to getting to know each of my students!
