Home	Sixth Grade English and Language Arts Toni Justus, Teacher This year is my 30^th year of teaching, and I believe this will be the most exciting year in my teaching career, teaching 6th grade in the new magnet school for the arts. I grew up in Greenwood and was educated in the public school system. Upon graduation from Greenwood High School in 1967, I went on to the University of South Carolina where I received my BA in Elementary Education in 1971. I taught in Texas and North Carolina public school systems prior to my return to Greenwood 15 years ago. In Greenwood, while teaching at Oakland Elementary, I obtained my Master’s Degree in education from Lander University. The past 4 years I have taught 7^th grade at Brewer Middle School. I am G.T. certified and highly qualified in Language Arts and Social Studies in middle school education with 30+ hours past my Master’s Degree. I have been married for 29 years to Donny Justus, a 4^th generation homebuilder, from Hendersonville, NC. We have a son, Chip, who is 27 years old and works in bio-medical research. I live on Lake Greenwood and enjoy boating on the lake, reading, going to plays and concerts, and playing with my little Scottie dog, Hendrix. *South Carolina* *Junior Book Award Nominees* Suggested Summer Reading *(One book of choice) Popular Novels Used in 6^th Grade** -Zilpha R.
