My name is Katie Feeney and I am very excited to start my second year here at Dilworth as part of the fifth grade team! This will be my seventh year teaching. I taught first, second, and fourth grades in Maryland and have loved the transition to fifth over the past year here in North Carolina. I am originally from the Charlotte area and attended UNCW for undergrad. I have also lived abroad in England, Germany and Argentina! I love to travel and experience new things. I also enjoy exercising, cooking, reading, going to concerts, and spending time with my family and friends. Teaching and learning are huge passions of mine as well and I can't wait to share a great year with everyone! Go Dragons!

My name is Lane Taylor and I am thrilled to be back for my second year at Dilworth and my 16th year in the classroom. I taught for six years back in the 90’s (OMG!), tried my hand in the business world for a couple of years, took seven years off to start a family, and am now entering my tenth year back in the classroom. I have taught all grades from second through fifth, but have absolutely fallen in love with fifth...the kids, the curriculum, the transition to middle school...I love it all! My husband, Brett, and I are the proud parents of two former Dilworth Dragons: Statton (junior at Myers Park) and Jordan (freshman at Myers Park). It seems like yesterday that they were donning their SPARK shirts for field trips and going to Dragon Houses. We also have two dogs, Addie and Lucy. In my free time I love to exercise (well I love when it's over, at least), cook, read and watch my kids play sports. This summer I added golf to that list of hobbies. My golf game is far from pretty, but I'm having a great time learning and practicing. I am looking forward to another fabulous year at Dilworth!!
My name is Lauren Milner and this will be my fourth year at Dilworth. For the past three years I have taught fourth grade but am so excited about to be joining the fifth grade team! I absolutely love teaching the older kids and am looking forward to another great year. I was born and raised in Ohio where I went to Kent State University for my undergrad degree. I fell in love with Charlotte and moved down here almost five years ago to get my masters at UNCC. In my spare time I love to travel any chance I can get, read, play sports, go to concerts and spending time at the White Water Center. I have a 2 year old Aussiedoodle puppy, Jackson, who also keeps me on my toes at all times but I wouldn't have it any other way. I am looking forward to another exciting year as a Dilworth Dragon and can't wait to see how much the kids grow and learn over the year!
My name is Brittany Lloyd and I am excited to be a first time Dilworth Dragon! Although this is my first year at Dilworth, this marks my 11th year teaching! I taught 5th and 6th grade in upstate New York for my whole professional career. I went to Elmira College for both my undergrad and graduate studies and then attended Niagara University for my administrative certification. My family and I moved to Charlotte at the beginning of the school year from Horseheads, NY. We are excited for our new adventure and home! My husband (Evan) and I just celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary and we have two children, Gemma and Britton. Gemma also became a Dilworth Dragon this year and started Kindergarten, while Britton is enjoying being a 2 year old! We also have two dogs, Crumbs and Jackson. In my free time I enjoy traveling, shopping and spending time with my family. I am looking forward to a fabulous year here at Dilworth!
