Peyton Grant

Hello all! My name is Peyton Grant and I am a 3rd grade teacher here at Kingswood. I recently graduated from NC State University with a B.S. in Elementary Education and a concentration in S.T.E.M. I student taught and did a long-term substitute position here at Kingswood. Teaching, advocating for, and supporting students is one of my biggest joys in life! Aside from teaching, my favorite activities include petsitting, trying new coffee shops, going to the gym, hiking, and spending time with loved ones.
