Laura Turner
Building Substitute Teacher (PM)
In August 2025, my family and I moved to Mount Pleasant from Lake Stevens,
Washington. My husband’s job with Boeing brought us here. I graduated from Brigham Young
University with a bachelor’s degree in Fitness and Wellness management. At BYU I also ran on
the Cross Country and Track teams. I was part of two national championship teams and received
All-American honors 7 times. After college I ran professionally for Reebok, competed
internationally for 2 years, and represented the USA at the world ½ marathon and cross-
country championships.
I was then able to stay home and my raise 4 children. I loved
volunteering often in their classrooms as an art docent for class activities and parties and
helping with individualized learning. When my youngest was in First grade I started substitute
teaching part time in the Lake Stevens School District. I substitute taught for the past 3½ years
in kindergarten through 12th grade. I am excited to be here in Mount Pleasant and enjoy
the sunshine and beaches. I look forward to helping all the students at University School of the Lowcountry
find joy in learning.
