Social Studies

Mrs. Amber Glover

Hi! I’m Amber Glover, and I’ve been proud to call Beddingfield High School home since I began my teaching career here in 2010. I graduated from East Carolina University as a North Carolina Teaching Fellow with a degree in Secondary History Education. This year marks my 15th year in the classroom, and I’m honored to be a National Board Certified Teacher.

I currently teach American History, AVID III, and Civics, and I truly enjoy helping students grow, both in and out of the classroom. Building strong relationships with my students is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

Outside of school, I’m married to, Bryant, the agriculture teacher here at Beddingfield, and together we’re raising three wonderful boys: Carter, Jake, and Wyatt. We also share our home with a cat and 11 chickens, which definitely keeps life interesting!

Ms. Amanda Parrish

As a graduate of Beddingfield High School (Class of 2011), a Pee Wee and Myrtle Owens Scholar, and a graduate of Barton College (with a license in Social Studies Education for grades 6-12), I am glad to be back home with the Bruins after spending my first year teaching 8th grade Social Studies at Elm City Middle School. This is my 8th year teaching overall and my 7th at Beddingfield. There is no other place I'd rather be than teaching Beddingfield students. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, playing with my dog (Buddy), watching sports, and travelling (especially to historical sites and Walt Disney World)! I am thrilled that I get to be a small part of the educational journey for so many Bruins!

Mr. John Ware

I graduated from UNC-Pembroke in 2018 and taught middle school for 4 years prior to arriving at Beddingfield in 2022. History and football are important to me and I am very happy to mentor students in those areas.
