Hi! My name is Ms. Sonya Lawson. I teach high school English I. This is my first year teaching at Givhans  Alternative Program and in Dorchester School District 2.

I received my Bachelor and Master degrees in English Education from South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, South Carolina.

I have been teaching English at the high school level for 18 years. Over the years, I have taught English I - IV, Creative Writing, Journalism, HSAP Reading and Writing, Exit Exam Reading and Writing, SAT Prep, Read 180, and Direct Reading. I have also taught in other alternative school settings and the STAR Academy. Along with my experience and training, I look forward to working with the staff, students, and parents at GAP in an effort to help make this a successful school year for students and my 19th year of teaching great!
