Dear 9th grade parents, guardians, caregivers and students!

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! My name is Mrs. Owens and I have lived in Lexington, North Carolina for over twenty-three years and worked at Lexington Middle School for a decade! I earned a BA in psychology with a minor in Family Studies and Social Work. Earlier in my career, I served as a Behavior Support/E.C. Teacher Assistant. After obtaining my teaching license, I taught 7th grade social studies for four years. I taught English Language Arts for two years and now I will be teaching English I at LSHS. Currently, I serve on several committees within the school district. I love being a teacher!

During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am a self-proclaimed history buff. I am also an avid reader; I love reading a variety of fiction and non-fiction literature and texts. Other hobbies I enjoy are interior decorating (I love HGTV), cooking, photography and weightlifting. 

I am also the proud mother of Lexington Senior High School's class of 2020 Valedictorian (Amarah Owens) and the class of 2023 Salutatorian (Micah Owens)!
