Andrea Hallmon-Lucas 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year



I am a former graduate of Lower Richland High School, Class of '97. After graduating I received a track scholarship to the University of South Carolina, where I majored in Marketing and Management with a minor in Retail. I graduated from the USC in December of 2001. I worked in insurance with Palmetto GBA for 4 years, and then I travelled aboard for 3 years with my husband who played basketball in the European League. I received my master’s degree from Southern Wesleyan University in 2005. I was afforded the opportunity to enroll in the PACE program where I earned my teaching certification in Business Education in the summer of 2010.

 

I have been teaching at Lower Richland High School for the past 5 years. For the past 5 years I have served as the FBLA Adviser where I have had the opportunity to advise 3 state officers and more than 50 district and state winners.  I have had the pleasure of attending the National conference for the past 5 years because of the hard work and dedication of the students in FBLA.  They are true examples of Future Business Leaders of America. I have served for the past two years as the JV Girl Basketball coach and as a Girls and Boys Assistant Middle Distance/Distance Coach for Track and Field. All of these things would not be possible without the support of my family, my husband Aaron Lucas and our two sons Jurnii and Kingston.

 

I am honored to serve as the 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year. It is so exciting to be in a place where, “Great Things are Happening”!
