Dudley, N.C. — A Southern Wayne High School teacher has been charged with engaging in sexual activity with a student, authorities said Wednesday.
Shannon Grace Herring, 32, of 728 Sykes Road in Kinston, was charged with two counts of sexual activity with a student.
Southern Wayne High officials told investigators in November that they believed a teacher engaged in improper conduct with a student, authorities said.
The charges stem from alleged activity between Herring and a 17-year-old student off school property, authorities said.
