Hi! My name is Susan Bazemore! I am originally from Hickory, N.C., but have lived in Gates County since 1993. I am a graduate of Elon College where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education. I am National Board Certified. I have taught 1st grade for 25 of my 29 years and Kindergarten for the other 4 years. I have been married to my husband, Donald, for 27 years. We have 2 wonderful children! D.J. is a middle school Health and Physical Education Teacher and is married to Lexy. Christa is in graduate school at the University of Georgia studying to be an Athletic Trainer. In my spare time I enjoy watching my children play sports, reading novels, and shopping with my family and friends! My favorite colors are hot pink and red. I love my job and enjoy working with my students!
