Airport High School Media Center
Information for Faculty and Staff
Meet Your Library Media Specialists
My husband and I grew up in Pine Ridge and both graduated from Airport. I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary English Education and a Master of Library and Information Science. Before transferring to AHS in 2009, I taught seventh grade language arts at Fulmer Middle School for 12 years. My daughter, Natalie, who is a 2012 AHS graduate, and a 2016 graduate of Presbyterian College, is pursuing a Master of Divinity at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. My twin sons, Michael and David, also AHS graduates, are juniors at Clemson this year. When I'm not reading a good book, training my hound dog, serving on church committees, or cheering on the Gamecocks, I enjoy traveling and camping with my family in our "rolling hotel."
Mrs. Elofson
I received a Master of Library and Information Science degree from the University of South Carolina and a Bachelor of Arts in History from Francis Marion University. My previous professional experience includes the USC School of Medicine Library, the FMU Writing Center, Forest Heights Elementary School, and Eau Claire High School. My professional passions involve culturally responsive pedagogy and social emotional learning and health in relation to school libraries. In my spare time, I enjoy reading young adult literature--A.S. King is my favorite YA author--going on nature walks, and spending time with my husband, Derek, and my two dogs, Pippin and Sidney.
Your library media specialists are here to assist you and our students. We welcome any opportunity for collaboration with classroom teachers. With prior notice, we will be happy to attend common planning time meetings to discuss possible collaborations.
