Welcome Scholars and Parents! For those who have not met me, my name is Mrs.McGowan. This is my 9th year teaching at Trent Park. I am originally from North Carolina. I have traveled and lived in various places in the United States and Japan. During my travels I completed my studies and received a BA in Psychology, and a MA in Elementary Education with Gifted and Talented Endorsement. I have been in Education for over 20 years. I have taught a variety of grades in regular and special education.I love spending my days creating an environment that is conducive to fun and learning, where all students feel valued and achieve success. I look forward to a great year in 2nd Grade.
