Hi all! My name is Emily Whitten, and I am so excited to teach math and coach cheer here at Journey Middle School! I am entering my fifth year of teaching, with experience in both middle and high school math. For the past two years, I’ve taught 8th grade math at Journey Middle School, and I previously taught Algebra 1 and Geometry at the high school level. Originally from South Carolina, I attended North Greenville University, where I got my Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Mathematical Education. After getting my Bachelor's, I received my Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governors University. Outside of school, I enjoy spending my time with my husband and son. 

 

I’m passionate about helping students build confidence in math and connecting content to real-world applications. I cannot wait to build new relationships and support each of my students in their learning journey this year! Go JAGS!
