    		 Katie Johns - IRR
    Hi! My name is Katie Johns and this will be my first year teaching at Vickery Creek. I attended Georgia Southern and graduated with my Masters In Arts and Teaching. While at Southern I met my husband, Ryan, and we now have two wild kiddos that keep us busy. Charleigh is 5 and will be starting Kindergarten this year here at VCE and Colton is 3. We love spending time together outside, being on the lake, and watching football. I also enjoy running and playing tennis to sharpen my saw. I am so excited to join the Viking family and looking forward to a great year!

    		 Ashley Cunningham - IRR
    Hello! I am Ms. McKenna. I went to Valdosta State University for my undergraduate degree in Special Education General Curriculum. I am currently working on my master's degree through Georgia Southern for Special Education. Fun fact, I attended Vickery Creek Elementary as a child, and I was the first charter class of VCE. I went on to Vickery Creek Middle and graduated from West Forsyth High School. Growing up in the Forsyth County schools with the support of my amazing teachers, inspired me to become a special education teacher. I hope to inspire my students in the same way in which I was inspired.

    		 Misty Sprayberry - IRR
    My husband, Timothy and I have been married for 17 years. He is a retired Deputy Sheriff. We have two sons Keith (13) and Logan (9). We recently moved back to Timothy’s hometown of Rome, Ga. After graduating college, I was an Operations Manager for a local bank in Cumming. With the birth of my son Logan, I realized that I wanted a career change. My first experience in education was at a preschool where I worked my way up to Center Director. Realizing that teaching is my true passion, I joined Vickery Creek Elementary as a Kindergarten Paraprofessional. I am excited to continue my educational journey as a Special Education teacher!  I chose Early Childhood Education because I believe that a lifelong love of learning is sparked early in children. Watching children learn and realize they really can accomplish their goals is something I am lucky to be a part of.
