Pamela Hall

I have had the privilege of teaching mathematics for many years in both Virginia and North Carolina. I hold a Bachelor’s degree from Millersville University and a Master’s degree from Radford University. Outside the classroom, I’m the wife of a retired pastor, a proud parent of three grown children, a grandmother to six, and a proud dog owner. In my free time, I enjoy photography and cherishing moments with my family (I’m the family’s official paparazzi). I enjoy traveling and have been on mission trips to Haiti and Ukraine. I am passionate about my God, mathematics, and find great joy in helping students achieve success, both in math and in life.

Erin Moore

2024-25 TEACHER OF THE YEAR
 
I was born and raised in Wake County, and I am a product of WCPSS - all the way through school and for all 13 years of my teaching career. I have taught Pre-Algebra through AP Calculus AB, and I even taught college math for a few semesters at Durham Tech. I earned my undergraduate degree at UNC-Charlotte and my Master's degree at NC State. I love spending time with my family - my two little girls keep me on my toes at all times.
 
I am excited to help students in this chapter of their education and maybe even help them see that math isn't so bad!

Deanna Sabol

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and I earned my degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). After teaching for a year in Pennsylvania, I moved to Orlando, Florida, where I taught at Celebration High School, where I helped create an AVID program and wrote curriculum to support students struggling with the FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test). During that time, I also coached cross-country & track and started a girl's weightlifting team. 

In 2010, I relocated to North Carolina and stepped away from the traditional classroom to spend more time with my son. I tutored and homeschooled three children from Latvia who were being adopted. This experience further deepened my passion for individualized and alternative education.

I then began my WCPSS career, starting at Green Hope High School before transitioning into an alternative setting, which is where I truly found my professional home! I worked at Connections Academy Middle School before coming to SCORE, where I’m proud to support students in a personalized and flexible learning environment.

Kirsten Yelton

DEPARTMENT CHAIR
 
I am from a small town in the NC mountains. After high school, I moved to Raleigh to attend NC State, where I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Math Education. I taught 7th grade for one year back home in the mountains before returning to Raleigh in 2015 to teach high school math. I am celebrating my 11th year in education, and I love helping students with unique needs figure out a way to achieve their goals. 
 
I have a 10-year-old dog (Munchi), who I've had since a small pup, and I enjoy vacations with friends, visiting family in the mountains, amusement parks, beach getaways, cooking, and trying new food/restaurants.
