Jenelle Crocker
I am excited to join the Big Creek team! I have worked in Forsyth County Schools since 2013. I have been a 4th grade teacher, Media/Technology teacher, and gifted coordinator. Before that, I taught 5th grade for 7 years in Myrtle Beach, SC. Working in the media center gives me so many opportunities to be creative - bulletin boards, costumes, book displays, STEM lessons, makerspace, research tools, and reading just for fun! What is your favorite thing to do in the media center?? When I’m not reading and learning new tech tools, I run 5Ks, and I yell loudly at sporting events (Go Heels!) and country concerts. I also make t-shirts and crafts with my Cricut, so you might see me shopping at Hobby Lobby or Michaels!

My name is Sai Gonyea, and I am so excited to be teaching music at Big Creek ES! I graduated from Reinhardt University in 2021 and have been teaching at Big Creek since 2022.

Rachel Groover
I couldn't be more excited to be a returning Wildcat, just in a different fashion. I've been at Big Creek since 2016. I attended Big Creek Elementary as a student from Kindergarten through Fifth Grade and continued through the Forsyth County School System. I graduated from Georgia Southern University in 2015. On the weekends I love spending time with my husband, our twins and our dogs Beaux and Cora. When I'm not teaching, I'm making my own art and cheering on my Georgia Southern Eagles!

Summer Harrison
Hello! I am Summer Harrison and I teach STEM specials here at Big Creek, where we integrate Science, Technology, Engineering and Math! In STEM students explore and create using the engineering design process! During our time together, students will focus on collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, confidence, and communication! Throughout the year they will grow to think and act as little scientists. 😊 This will be my 4th year at BCE in the STEM lab. I graduated from Jacksonville State University in 2016. Prior to becoming a Stem specials teacher, I taught 5 years in 3rd grade and a year in 4th grade. On the weekends I enjoy relaxing with my husband and two girls, who keep me on my toes. When I am not teaching, you can find me trying a new recipe, listening to live music, or learning my new hobby of pickleball!

Erika McGowan
Hi, I’m Erika McGowan. I’ve been the PE Coach at Big Creek since 2000. I’ve been married to my husband I met at UGA since 2000 as well. We have a son at GCSU & a daughter at Lakeside MS. My love for physical activity has always been present and I continue to stay active with running and tennis as an adult. We spend most of our time watching our daughter play soccer and run XC. I love seeing our BC students learn to love physical activity while discovering all the benefits that go along with it.
