Text Box: ABOUT ME








Heather Gaston

English & Social Studies Teacher

	My husband and two boys moved to Florence during the summer of 2006 from Montana.  He and I both teach at South Florence High School.  We love the school and the community and look forward to many years of service and fun. 

 	I have been fortunate in my life to live in many different areas across the nation: South Dakota, Texas, Arizona, Maine, Puerto Rico, Montana, and South Carolina.  I hope to bring my different perspectives on life and learning to the classroom and help open up students’ mind to all the amazing knowledge and possibilities that are out there waiting to be experienced.

	Prior to moving to Florence, I taught at Rocky Boy High School on the Rocky Boy’s Reservation in Montana for six years. I had a wonderful time teaching there and learned so much and met fantastic people.  Although I love Florence, part of me remains with them!
