Mrs. Victoria James
Hello Parents and Students!! I am Mrs. James and I am so excited to be here at Harrisburg Elementary!! I am looking forward to beginning this year with my new fourth graders. This is going to be an exciting and successful year!!
Let me begin by telling you a little bit about myself. I am originally from New Jersey and moved down to Charlotte in 1999 to finish my degree in Elementary Education. I live in Harrisburg with my husband, two children and puppy named Louey! I have been teaching in North Carolina for 18 years, 12 of which were spent in nearby Kannapolis. Teaching has been a very rewarding experience and I am thrilled to be a part of the Harrisburg Elementary family. My hope is to continue to make many more friends and solid connections with students old and new!!
Cheers to a great 2021-2022! Success is made with teamwork!
