Welcome to my 5th grade class! My name is Wendy Duke and this is my 24th year teaching fifth grade at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School. I graduated from UNC-Charlotte with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education. I also recently completed the Gifted Local Endorsement of Educators course through Cabarrus County Schools. Since I grew up in Mt. Pleasant, this school and community holds a special place in my heart!
My husband, Ed, and I have two wonderful sons. My oldest son, Brady, is a Senior at MPHS. My youngest son, Colby, is a seventh grader at MPMS. They are both a blessing in my life. I love to spend time with my family, read, travel, be outdoors, and watch my boys play sports.
I teach Reading and Science on a team with Ms. Dennis. Ms. Dennis teaches Math and Social Studies. We are a united team with high expectations regarding academics, organization, discipline, and communication. Our goal is to help your child strive for his/her personal best in all areas. I look forward to getting to know you and your child. I want this to be an exciting and productive year for your child!
