Meet the Teacher

Mrs. Taylor Thorne

Taylor Payne

Hello! My name is Taylor Thorne. This is my 3rd year teaching 2nd grade.  I am so grateful and honored to be a part of the BullPup family! I graduated from Campbell University in May of 2023 where I received my BS in Elementary Education with a full add on licensure in Special Education. I am also currently enrolled in my Master of Elementary Education with a concentration in Academically Intellectually Gifted students.

I loved Harnett County so much during my time at Campbell I had to stick around and give back to the school system who helped shape me into the teacher I am today. I recently got married and love spending time with my husband and my golden retriever, Banks. I also love coffee, shopping, horseback riding and watching football to support the CU Camels!

I look forward to having an amazing school year with some phenomenal students and families!
