My name is April Butler, and I am proud to be one of the 2nd grade teachers at Laurel Park Elementary. I hold a degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Psychology from Appalachian State University. In 2004, I earned my National Board Certification, which I continue to maintain as part of my commitment to professional excellence.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am married and have two wonderful children. My daughter, Morgan, is carrying on the family tradition as a first-grade teacher, and my son, Cooper, is currently a student at NC State University. Our family also includes our two dogs, Jenny and Charlie. We love staying active with sports, outdoor adventures, and cheering on our favorite teams.

I’m excited for another year of learning, growth, and building strong connections with our students and families. Let’s make this school year the best one yet!
