Hi parents and students! My name is Ms. Chasity Tolliver. First, I would like to start by saying that I am very excited to be teaching your students this school year! This is my 3rd year teaching and my 2nd year teaching here at Pine Hill Middle School. I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology that I received from UNC Charlotte and I am currently obtaining my Master's degree in Counseling and Rehabilitation from USC Columbia. Also, I am expecting my first child in January 2026, hoping for a safe and speedy delivery! I truly love teaching, and I am especially glad to be working with the 8th grade this year because it is such an important year in preparing students for the transition into high school and beyond in life. My main goal as an educator is not only to teach science, but also to teach and support the whole child; academically, socially, and emotionally. I believe that building strong relationships and nurturing well-rounded learners is just as important as mastering content, and I am committed to helping each student grow in every area of their development.
