Sarah Bennett
Originally from Independence, Mississippi, Sarah now calls Southaven home with her sweet family—her husband, their two boys, and their little girl. Teaching is more than a profession to Sarah; it is a calling and a ministry that she is grateful God has entrusted to her. Her heart is to create a classroom where every child feels loved, encouraged, and excited to learn. Kindergarten holds a special place in her heart because it gives her the opportunity to nurture not only a child’s first steps academically, but also their confidence, curiosity, and love for others during such an important season of growth.
Sarah has treasured her years at Carriage Hills and the children and families she has had the privilege to love and serve. She looks forward to many more years of growing alongside this special school family.
