Hello! My name
is Amy Hogsten. I am originally from Rutledge, TN in Grainger
Co., and am now a resident of Dandridge. I graduated from
Carson-Newman College with a BS in Early Childhood Education, grades
K-3, and received my masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I
have been teaching kindergarten at Piedmont Elementary for eight
years. I enjoy working at Piedmont and have wonderful
friends there.
I lived in Rutledge for 27 years and moved to Dandridge with my parents. Unfortunately, I do not have any siblings, even though I begged for some for a long time! I got married on October 1, 2005 to Edward Hogsten. We were married outdoors at The Point overlooking the lake. It was a beautiful day and extremely hot for the beginning of the fall season. We traveled to Cancun for our honeymoon and safely returned home a few days before a major storm hit. Whew!! Eddie and I attend Jefferson City Assembly of God Church where we are involved with Sunday School, youth, and other church activities. Eddie and I met at Piedmont because he works with the school system, too. We recently built a new house and just had our first child, Ezekiel Edward. He is three months old and sooo cute! We also have one pet. She is a Toy Poodle and her name is Holly Berry. She was a Christmas present and weighs about 7 pounds. She is so fun to play with. Things are very exciting at our house, especially with a new baby to enjoy!!
My hobbies include shopping, hanging out with my family and friends, being involved with my church, and scrapbooking. I love to scrapbook! I also enjoy excercising at Curves, walking, and riding bikes with my husband. Teaching is my gift and I love being around children. I enjoy hearing them call me "Mrs. Amy." They are the highlight of my career and I look forward to many more years in the world of kindergarten!
