Mrs. Terri Thornton

Hi there- My name is Terri Thornton, and I teach 5th grade advanced content math, science, and social studies as well as a gifted resource segment. I have been teaching since 2007. My husband and I live in Watkinsville, and we have three children. 

I graduated from Piedmont College in 2007 with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I continued my learning and graduated in 2010 with a M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education with a specialization in Reading and Literacy. In 2012, I graduated from The University of Georgia with my Ed.S. and gifted endorsement.

Along the way, I have developed an even deeper passion for learning, leading, and teaching. I am so excited to share that passion with my students, and I am very excited to be a part of the Oconee County Elementary family!
