About Ms. Pirtle

This is my first year to teach at Chapel Hill High School.  I have been teaching for eleven years.  Previously, I worked in the banking industry for ten years.  I believe that my "real world experience" can help prepare students for the workforce.  I really enjoy teaching BCIS and Keyboarding and know that these computer skills will be invaluable to students.  I am really excited to be here at CHHS!!
