Mrs. Leigh Freeman

I was raised in Rock Hill and attended Winthrop University where I received my bachelors and my masters degrees. My husband is a welder and we have two children, age 10 and 17. We enjoy going to Clemson games, seeing live music, and traveling.

I love working at ATC because we get to provide first hand experience to our students to help them make lifelong career decisions. I have many former students who are now working in ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ which is the best reward as a teacher in my area.
