Hello!

My name is Lindsay Guthrie and I am one of the Computer Lab teachers here at Pinehurst. This is my fifth year living in Charleston, SC, and working here at Pinehurst. Before teaching at Pinehurst, I lived, grew up, and taught about 25 miles south of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC. When not teaching, I enjoy spending time with family, on the boat, at the beach, traveling, or just losing myself in a good book. 

Hello! My name is Joseph McGruther and I have been teaching at Pinehurst Elementary for 5 years. I started teaching as a special education teacher, but after having so much fun teaching 4^th grade, it is where I have remained. In my free time, I enjoy playing board games, cooking, attempting to bake, and watching documentaries with my hound dog Tod.

I love working here at Pinehurst as I am surrounded every day by dedicated teachers and staff, and by students who are curious, excited to learn, and full of personality. I am extremely honored to have been chosen as Pinehurst Elementary’s Teacher of the Year and I look forward to what this year has to bring!

I am Ms. Roche and I am one of the Reading Interventionists! I love working with our students and watching them work hard while celebrating their success. This is my 8th year teaching at Pinehurst, including positions teaching Third, Fourth, and Reading. Outside of school, I love hanging out at the beach, reading, and spending time with family and friends.  

I'm excited to be teaching first grade at Pinehurst! I grew up in Charleston and currently live on James Island. I graduated from the College of Charleston with a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education in May 2020. This is my third year teaching, but my first year at Pinehurst. I love to listen to music, watch movies, and try new foods when I am not teaching.
