Hi! WELCOME to 7th Grade ELA. 

My name is Christie McDougal, and this is my 12th year as a teacher.  I spent 10 years at W.L. Swain where I taught 3rd-5th grade. This will be my second year at AMS as a 7th grade ELA teacher.

I graduated from Gordon Central High School (GO WARRIORS!) and then when on to Dalton State College to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have my EdS in Curriculum and Instruction from Piedmont College in Demorest, GA. I have a T-6 Certificate in Middle Grades ELA and Reading, and I also have an ESOL endorsement.

My husband and I live in Gordon County, and our two children graduated from Gordon Central High School.  My daughter Kyra, is a Marketing major at DSC.  My son Trent, is an Engineer major at UGA (Go DAWGS!). I love to camp, spend time at the beach, read, and spend time with my family.

I look forward to a great year with your child as we explore the world of literacy and writing.
