Welcome to Johnsonville Elementary School! I am Helen Shupe, and I am very excited to be joining the Johnsonville family and Reading Recovery Team. I have been blessed to work in Harnett County, in the field of education, for the last 17 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 last six years, I worked at Harnett Primary School as part of their instructional team and served as the Instructional Coach this past school year. While serving in this role, I was ecstatic to be given the opportunity to train in Reading Recovery.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband, who I met at Campbell University, and I have been married for 16 years. We have a precious little 4-year-old girl who is our heart song. I also love crocheting and reading. 

I am excited to get to know your child and help them unlock the magic of reading as well!
