Beth Horant
I was born and raised in Maryland, and have lived in California, Texas, and Germany. I come from a family of teachers and I always knew this was what I wanted to do for my career. This is my 12th year of teaching and my first FULL year in WCPSS. I have taught middle school and 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade! I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and a Master's degree in Education. I also have a second Master's degree in School Counseling.
I live in Raleigh with my partner, our 5-year-old daughter (who attends Kingswood), and our two kittens, Spaghetti and Meatballs. In my time off I enjoy reading, running, listening to music, and going to the beach.

Sarah McSwain
Hello! I am so excited to be teaching fourth grade at Kingswood! This will be my eighteenth year of teaching. I am from Raleigh, but moved back to the area four years ago to teach in Wake County. I live with my husband, the sweetest kids ever, and my dog Tuxedo. My family loves to hike, bike, snow-ski, and basically enjoy anything outside. I cannot wait to share my love of math, reading, and the beautiful world we live in. This will be the best year ever!
