My name is Molly Dean and I am a Kindergarten teacher at Lead Mine Elementary. I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC, and have enjoyed raising my two girls in the area. I attended East Carolina University and graduated with a B.A. in Elementary Education.  Go, Pirates! I have taught Kindergarten and First grade for several years however this is my first year teaching with WCPSS. In my free time, I enjoy cookouts with family, going to the beach, shopping, and being outside. Teaching is my passion and I love watching students grow throughout the year. I look forward to inspiring young learners and making wonderful memories together this year.
