Welcome to North Harnett Primary School! I am Helen Shupe, and I am very excited to be part of the North Harnett Primary Bullpup family as a Reading Recovery teacher. I have been blessed to work in Harnett County, in the field of education, for the last 19 years. I began my career as an educator working at Cape Fear Christian Academy for four years. There I taught 5th and 6th grade as well as high school Algebra II and Geometry. Once I received my Master of Education at Campbell University, I moved to South Harnett Elementary. I taught 4th and 5th grade there for seven years. For the next six years, I worked at Harnett Primary School (now Dunn Elementary) as part of their instructional team and served as the Instructional Coach my last year there. While serving in that role, I was ecstatic to be given the opportunity to train in Reading Recovery. For the last two years, I have worked as a Reading Recovery teacher here at North Harnett Primary School.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband, who I met at Campbell University, and I have been married for 19 years. We have a precious little 6-year-old girl who is our heart song. I also love crocheting, baking, and reading.

I am excited about getting to know your child and helping them unlock the magic of reading and writing!
