I am so excited to be the Art teacher this year at both Beam Intermediate and Tryon Elementary. I have been a 2nd grade and  Kindergarten teacher at Tryon and a Teacher Assistant before that at Cherryville Elem.  This is my 26th year working for аæèßäapp Co. Schools. I have a 24 year-old daughter, McKenzie and a 22 year-old son, Colby who both attended Beam Intermediate.  I have been married to  my husband Mike for  29 years . I attended Tryon Elementary as a kid and have lived in Cherryville all my life. I attended East Carolina University and received my Teaching degree from Gardner Webb University.

We have a small farm with lots of animals that I enjoy feeding and spending time with.  I also enjoy gardening, canning, fishing, hunting, crafting  and spending time with my family.

Hello, I’m Melissa Hawkins, and I am excited to be a part of the W. B. Beam Intermediate community. As I embark on this new chapter as your Content Teacher, I look forward to collaborating with colleagues, supporting students, and contributing to the vibrant academic community. 

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Belmont Abbey College, and my passion for teaching has been a driving force since the beginning of my career in 2003. My journey in education includes two years of experience working with exceptional children (E.C.) students at the middle school level and working in elementary grades spanning from first through fifth.

My husband, Shane, is a teacher at East аæèßäapp High School. We have two daughters, Miranda and Alexis. Miranda is married and works for аæèßäapp County Social Services, and Alexis is a registered nurse (RN). I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, and hiking to waterfalls. I love anything to do with North Carolina, especially the Outer Banks. 

I believe in the power of education to transform lives and empower individuals to reach their fullest potential. Together, I'm confident we can create meaningful and impactful educational experiences for all learners.
