James Kenan Tiger Band

Mrs. Samantha Best

Hi Everyone! My name is Mrs. Best and I am extremely excited about this school year! I am a Warsaw native and a James Kenan graduate (2015), so I have a lot of love for this school and the community we serve. This is my seventh year of teaching and I am looking forward to meeting all of you!

I hold a Bachelor's of Music degree in Music Education (K-12) from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (2019). I graduated Cum Laude as a member of the Esther G. Maynor Honors College. I am also a member of the National Association for Music Education as well as the professional music fraternity Sigma Alpha Iota.

I can be reached at sabest@duplinschools.net during the school day; please allow 24 hours for a response to your email.
