Hi! My name is Erica Gudgel and I am a proud to be a Blue Ridge Tiger! This is my 11th year teaching at Blue Ridge Elementary.  

I hold a Bachelors Degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M University. Whoop! My teaching certifications are in Early Childhood through 6th grade Generalist and 4th -8th Grade Science. I also hold additional certifications in Gifted and Talented as well as English as a Second Language. I'm currently working towards becoming a C.A.L.T. (Certified Academic Language Therapist) and enjoy watching our Blue Ridge students glow and grow.

This will be my 16th year of marriage to my high school sweetheart, Luke. We have 2 wonderful kids, Charlotte and Lincoln. I enjoy spending time with my family outdoors and going on adventures. I have a passion for travel and immersing myself in other cultures. 

Go Tigers!!!
