In her spare time, Ms. Archer enjoys baking (order a cake if you haven’t), binge-watching Disney and ALL of the Marvel movies. When asked why CTE Ms. Archer replied, “Business is all around us. By taking a dream or a hobby and turning it into a business is not as impossible as it seems. CTE helps the student decide what they want to be and if college isn’t in that dream then that is fine, we give you the skills and training to still be great in life.” Ms. Archer will celebrate 3 years in education this coming March. Ms. Archer can be contacted via email at aarcher@hertford.k12.nc.us
