Hello! My name is Whitney Shoupe, and I am the high school English teacher at Williams Academy. I was born in Spruce Pine, NC, and lived there my entire life until I met and married my husband, Josh. We now live in Avery County where we have been blessed with a beautiful little boy, Ezekiel, and spunky baby girl, Hannah!
Since I teach English, it goes without saying that I enjoy reading! Karen Kingsbury is one of my favorite authors while Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy follows a close second. I am also a sucker for the classics: To Kill a Mockingbird, Macbeth, Lord of the Flies. In addition to reading, I enjoy playing sports, especially basketball and volleyball. When I'm not teaching, my family is very active in our church.
A little known fact about me is that I have traveled to New Zealand, the Philippines, and Jamaica for mission trips!
