Welcome to our 2025-2026 #A3TeachingTeam, Ms. Gracie Burriss! 🎉🐯✏️
Ms. Burriss will be joining Starr Elementary as a new 3rd Grade Math Teacher!
Gracie graduated this past December from Anderson University with a degree in Early Childhood Education. She is a proud Crescent High School graduate who grew up right here in Iva, SC, and always knew she wanted to give back to the district that helped shape her. After completing her student teaching with us and feeling called to serve here, she knew Anderson 3 was where she belonged.
Outside the classroom, Gracie loves spending time with her family, pouring into her church family at Union Baptist, caring for children, and enjoying fun girls’ days filled with shopping and good food.
We are so excited for Gracie to start this new adventure and give back to the community she’s always called home. Welcome, Ms. Burriss, we’re so glad you’re here! 💛🥳🖤
