Mrs. Erin Fox
“Teachers inspire the smallest hearts to grow big enough to change the world”
Erin Fox is an 11th grade English III teacher at Gaffney High School in the Cherokee County School District. Erin pulls from her dramatic, dance, and musical background to create dynamic lessons and units. In her roles as a teacher and cross country coach she ensures that her students are challenged. She strives to teach them “an inner ‘drive’ that will carry them further than a 5K course, classroom, or school year—one that will carry them through life with a persevering attitude that sees them through life’s valleys and peaks.”
