My name is Greg Waters. I am from Wallace, NC. I graduated from Wallace Rose Hill High School in 1998. After graduating High School, I went on to UNCW and graduated in 2003 with a double major in Biology (BS) and Chemistry (BA). After graduating from UNCW, I went on to work in the pharmaceutical industry in a laboratory setting in Wilmington, NC until 2010. I got bored working in a lab and decided to go into teaching that summer and got a job at Sampson Middle School. After 1 year there, I moved over to James Kenan High School and worked there for 3 years. During that time, I earned my teacher certification license from UNC Asheville. In the fall of 2014, I moved to HHS where I have been ever since. I love it here at Hobbton. I currently teach Honors Biology, Biology, and Honors Chemistry but have also taught Earth/Environmental Science and Physical Science in the past here at HHS. I am the chair of the science department and a member of the School Leadership Team. I am an advisor for the Fellowship of Christian Students. I have coached basketball and assisted with football in the past and hope to coach again in the future when my children are older. I have had the honor of being chosen the HHS Teacher of the Year twice, 2020 and 2025, by my coworkers twice. I have always and will always put my students best interests first and will do everything I can to help them learn and grow as responsible adults. Personally, I have a wife, Leslie A. Waters, whom teaches kindergarten at Hargrove Elementary School (and went to HHS!), and three children, Bailey, Jaxon, and Lily Kate. I enjoy time with my family, golf, my church, coffee, and above all else GOD! GO WILDCATS!!
