My name is Carmen Mangus and I am the school librarian at Pelion Middle School. I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and Master of Library and Information Science. I began my career with the Lexington County Public Library System and moved to Lexington County School District One in 2008. I love serving the Pelion community and have enjoyed co-coaching the robotics team for the past three years. I also enjoy crafting, relaxing at home, and spending time with my family.

I started my teaching career in Lexington One as a Social Studies teacher at White Knoll Middle School in 2005, before becoming Pelion Middle’s Technology Integration Specialist in 2012. I am a proud alumna of Louisiana State University and earned both my Bachelor and Master degrees in Elementary Education there. I recently completed my Education Specialist degree in Literacy at Converse College.
