Hello! I am thrilled to join Vickery Creek’s third grade team this year! This is my sixth year teaching in Forsyth County. My husband and I live in Cumming with our two boys who also attend Vickery Creek. 

I have known that I wanted to be a teacher since I was young. I grew up in Douglas County and earned my Educational Specialist from the University of West Georgia! My passion is in teaching reading and helping students find those special books that unlock the joy of reading for them. 

When I am not teaching, you can find me camping, spending time with my family, reading, or playing with my dogs! I am looking forward to meeting my group of third graders! We are going to have a great year!

Hi! My name is Andrea Harris. I have been working in the field of education for over 30 years, and I hold a master’s degree from Oglethorpe University. I believe that it is an amazing privilege to be entrusted with the responsibility of working with children. My students have taught me that being a good teacher is so much more than just covering curriculum. I realize that sometimes the smallest things I say and do have the biggest impact. I strive to help keep students’ natural curiosity alive by showing them that learning is both rewarding and fun.

I live in Cumming with my husband of 30 years, our daughter, who recently graduated from the University of Georgia, and our two puppy dogs. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and doing anything outdoors.

I am happy to start a new school year, and I look forward to the excitement ahead!

Hi, my name is Jessica Howington and this will be my 9th year teaching.  I am passionate about inspiring and loving children while encouraging them to find their joy for learning! I received my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education at West Georgia. Since I've obtained my Master and Specialist Degree in Curriculum and Instruction and am certified in ESOL. I have a very supportive family and a poodle named Dixie. I enjoy traveling, outdoors, and shopping. I can’t wait to meet this year’s fabulous 3rd grade Vikings and parents, together we will make it the most rewarding year for your child!! 

Hi! I am so excited about starting our year together!

I was born in South Carolina, but I grew up in the Blairsville, Georgia. I married my husband, Scott, four years ago. We reside in Cumming with our cat, Penelope. I enjoy going to the movies, shopping for antiques, creating DIY projects, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Special Education with an endorsement in Reading from the University of North Georgia in 2016. This will be my sixth year teaching 3^rd grade.

I love being a part of the VCE family, and I am thrilled to work with you and your child this school year! 😊
