Mary Kate Hursey

Mary Kate Hursey was born in Vietnam and adopted when she was a baby. She was raised in Burlington, North Carolina. She graduated from North Carolina State University with a BA in Sociology. After college, she spent two years with the Alamance Burlington School System (ABSS) as a teacher assistant/personal care aid. This time spent among children and educators inspired her to dive deeper into the world of education. She went on to obtain her teaching license through East Carolina University. Since 2019 She has been teaching with ABSS as a 1st and 2nd grade teacher. She is extremely excited to start her new adventure with the Alamance Community School this coming school year.

In her free time, she loves spending quality time with her family and friends, being outdoors, and enjoying good food. While Mary Kate is excited to begin her new chapter at ACS, she is also delighted to announce that she and her husband will be welcoming their first child in May of 2024! She believes that this year will be amazing and is eagerly looking forward to meeting you all!
