Welcome to Mrs. Dorsey's Language Arts Class!
Hello, my name is Kelly Dorsey. I have been teaching 6th grade in the Pickens County School System for the past 25 years. I am very thankful for the opportunity that I've been given to help educate the children of Pickens County. I hope to make this year a pleasant experience for all my students and help them develop a love for reading.
My Educational Degrees consist of...
Ed.S. in Leadership - Lincoln Memorial University
M.Ed in Early Childhood - Piedmont College
B.S. in Education (P - 8) - Liberty University
Outside the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family, serving in my church, reading good books, and traveling to new places. Please feel free to contact me as needed through school email or by phone.
