Meet the Teacher

Welcome to Second Grade! This is my 25th year teaching, and I know it is going to be a great year! I have taught kindergarten, first grade, second grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade. I have four children and two grand babies. I have a heart and passion for teaching young learners. As a teacher, I make it my mission to build strong relationships with my classroom families and strive to create a classroom environment where positive, social relationships are fostered and learning is fun!

I went to Appalachian State University and received a degree in Elementary Education. I received my National Board Certification in 2007. I also have my AIG Certification from Wilkes County Schools. Due to the nature of Mr. Langston's profession, I have taught in seven counties throughout western North Carolina. WES is my ninth school and the school I call "home". Wilkesboro is a wonderful place to be a part of a school family.

I have been married for 30 years to Mr. Craig Langston. He was a pastor for 25 years until he retired and is now a financial planner. We love to ride in his convertible along the Blueridge Parkway, travel the world, and try new restaurants. I have four children, Elizabeth, Parker, Caroline, and Rebecca. Elizabeth is married and lives in Virginia and Parker, my son, will be working in Germany for the next year. Caroline and Rebecca started their second year of college this year, so my home is an empty nest. We all enjoy traveling and spending time hiking in the mountains, going to the beach, or sitting on our back deck watching a sunset. My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family and raising my four children is my most outstanding achievement.

My name is Gwynith Brooks and I currently attend Appalachian State University and am studying to be a teacher. Throughout my time as a student, I have had the privilege to work with second and fourth graders. In my free time I love to paint, read, and go on hikes. I want to become a teacher because I love to help young students reach their full potential while still having fun as well as having the ability to understand the material. I ultimately want students to be excited about what they are learning about in a safe, positive learning environment. I am also a lifelong learner and am always finding ways to better myself as an educator and a person. I am very excited to be learning, laughing, and working with you all!
