Mrs. Tori Arnold
Hey Huskies! My name is Tori Arnold. I graduated from the University of North Georgia with my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood and Special Education in the Spring of 2021. I have a husband named Garrett, who I married in October 2020. Together, we have 3 cats, a big tank of fish, and a spotted leopard gecko! We welcomed our first child Rhett into the world in February 2022! When we have free time, we like to go on trips, hang out with friends and family, and watch movies (Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings are our favorites). I absolutely LOVE being a teacher. Creating a classroom that allows students to feel loved, seen, and heard is my main goal. I previously taught 2nd grade in Hall County. This will be my second year in 3rd grade and at Haw Creek!

Mrs. Jeanne Buckman
Hello Haw Creek Huskies! My name is Jeanne Buckman and I am very excited to be teaching 3rd grade this year. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of Haw Creek Elementary as I start my seventh year of teaching. This is my neighborhood school and I may be a little biased, but I think it’s the best!
I graduated from the University of Georgia with a BSED in Early Childhood Education. I taught in Fulton County before moving to Forsyth County to have a family. My husband, Marc, and I have been married for 24 years. We have two kids, Mulaney and Max, and one dog, Caper. When I’m not teaching I really enjoy traveling, playing tennis, and reading a good book on my front porch swing.
The 2023-2024 school year is going to be an amazing one and I can’t wait to get started! I’m looking forward to seeing familiar faces in the halls and meeting new ones. Please make a point to stop by my room and say “Hi!” See you all soon!

My educational background includes a B.S. in Early Childhood Education from Georgia Southern University, a Master’s Degree in Education from Lesley University, and an EDS from Piedmont University. This will be my 11th year at Haw Creek. I have experience teaching multiple grade levels including 4th Grade, 3rd Grade, 2nd Grade, and Kindergarten.
My husband Greg and I have 2 daughters. My oldest daughter attends Alliance Academy, and our youngest daughter will start at North Forsyth Middle this year. We also have a very active dog that loves to constantly steal our socks. As a family, we all enjoy spending time at the lake.
I am happy to be teaching at Haw Creek, and I look forward to a fantastic year with you and your child.
