My name is Jessica Williams and I am so excited to be your child's kindergarten teacher at Ninety Six Primary! This is my 11th year teaching and my 6th year at NSPS. I previously taught second grade at NSPS for two years but my heart is in kindergarten. We love dancing, singing and making learning as fun as possible in our classroom! Prior to coming to NSPS, I taught for five years at Mathews Elementary School in Greenwood School District 50 as the English to Students of Other Languages (ESOL) Teacher.

I am married to my high school sweetheart, Dusty, and we have three beautiful children- Dalton (12) who is in 7th grade at Edgewood Middle School , Ashtyn (8) who is in 3rd grade this year and Kyndall (6) who is in 1st grade!  We have three fur babies- a German Shepherd, Leo, and two Parti-Yorkies, Dabo and Stella.  My family is very active in our church where I am the church secretary and the director of children's ministry and my husband is the youth pastor. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, watching Dalton play baseball (GO SPIKES!) and start football (GO WILDCATS!), participating in church activities, reading, gardening, fishing, and baking. I love traveling to the mountains and Disney but my favorite place is the beach! 

I am looking forward to working with you and your child this year to give them the best kindergarten experience possible!
