After graduating I moved to Charleston and taught PE/Health and coached lacrosse and basketball. Along with teaching PE I am also the AD here at the school and I coach multiple sports including flag football, basketball, and soccer. Go Mountain Lions!

I love teaching at The Mountain Community School because we value teaching the whole child. We value engaging and hands-on learning experiences. We celebrate the individual as well as collaboration and teamwork. I am proud to be part of this community where all members are not only respected, but loved.

Angie Sullivan, M.Ed.

My goals as a teacher are to spark curiosity and wonder, allow students to explore and question through hands-on experiences, build empathy and community through literature, and to foster a mindset of life-long learning.

When I first went back to school for my teaching license I knew I wanted to teach at a small school with a strong sense of community. It took a while, but my path finally led me to The Mountain Community School. TMCS is a small school that has a very strong sense of community, and teaching here is my dream job!
