Hi, my name is John Hayes. I have taught 19 years previously at Pepperell Middle School in Lindale, Georgia (Floyd County school system). Having taught English language arts, social studies, and math, I also taught the final four months in a long-term position at Menlo Elementary School in Menlo, Georgia (Chattooga County school system). I taught 7th grade math and 6th grade English language arts. With almost twenty years of total experience, I have a bachelor of arts degree in English from the University of Georgia, a masters degree in middle grades education with a math concentration from West Georgia, and an education specialist degree for curriculum and instruction from Lincoln Memorial University. I am happily married to my wife Sheila 22 years and have two wonderful sons, Zachary and Layton, ages 18 and 15 respectively. I look forward to teaching your child at Calhoun Middle School as a long-term substitute for Jule Medders.
