Greetings Parents and Scholars,

Hello! My name is Miss Frederica Higgs, and I am your first grade teacher. I am thrilled that you are in my class this year.

I was born in Washington D.C. I attended Halifax County Schools. I graduated from Elizabeth City State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Library Science. I have taught for 30+ years in public education. Prior to Scotland Neck Elementary Leadership Academy, I was fortunate enough to teach ten years in Virginia. I am so excited about our learning adventure!
