Mrs. Lucinda Huffstetler

I was born and raised in a small town in Northeast Ohio. I graduated from Geneva High School and then attended the University of Mount Union, earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in History with an emphasis in Adolescent to Young Adult Education. I moved to North Carolina in 2004 to pursue a teaching position at North аæèßäapp High School, where I taught World History. I received my MSE in Educational Leadership-Administration from Arkansas State University. My husband and I are the proud parents of two children, Sydney and Luke. I enjoy outdoor activities, traveling to historic sites, reading, and spending time with my family.
