My name is Cari Porterfield and this is my fifth year as the ESL teacher at Highcroft Drive Elementary. Prior to coming to Wake County, I taught adults wanting to learn English. In addition to teaching English, I also spent time as a 3rd and 4th grade classroom teacher.
I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Penn State and my Master’s Degree in ESL from Western Governor’s University. I obtained both a Reading Specialist & Wilson Reading Certification so that I could help those students with learning differences.
I am originally from Pennsylvania but have called North Carolina my home for the past 15 years. I have been married for 30 years to a great guy and we have two adult children & two grandsons.
I am very excited to be working with you and your children this year. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email any time! [email protected]
