    hoke Amber Hoke  

    Originally from southern California, I moved to north Georgia from Virginia in 2000.  I have taught everything from pre-K through sixth grade over the past 28 years, but now have my dream job as the Science specialist at Chattahoochee. I am married and have 2 grown children, a cockapoo, and our lab mascot, an African tortoise.  I enjoy learning new things, travelling, and spending time with my family.  I have spent several summers at Jekyll Island and love supporting the Sea Turtle Center.  I believe science should be taught as a verb, and Albert Einstein said it best, “Play is the highest form of research”.

    Coach Jeff Spera
    		 Tanna Savage

    Ever go diving on a wreck called the Mercedes off of Fort Lauderdale? How about feeding sharks and stingrays with the Aqua Zoo? I did. I am Coach Spera. I teach Physical Education at Chattahoochee Elementary-Go Champs! I was a scuba instructor in Florida and became a full time teacher in 1994. I spent my first half in Miami Dade County Public School, and the second half with Forsyth County Schools. Since there is no ocean nearby, my family and I love to go out on the lake. My wife, Vicky, teaches at Lakeside Middle School. I have two beautiful children – Ian and Kelly. They attend South Forsyth High School.
