I am so excited to start another great school year at Haw Creek. I have been at Haw Creek since it opened, and before that, I was a teacher in Coral Springs, Florida. I have taught all grades from Kindergarten through fifth grade! I attended the University of Florida. Go Gators! I live in Cumming and have two wonderful sons. Jake is a KSU alumni and Max is a senior at UCF, in Orlando. We have a dog named Joy who we adore and spoil rotten! This is going to be a great year!

Mr. Nick Minor
I graduated from the University of North Georgia in May of 2023 and had internships at the Elementary, Middle and High School levels. After completing these internships, I found myself to be very drawn to teaching at the elementary level. I can't wait to teach 5th grade!
I have a 4 year old son (Jackson) that is in Kindergarten this year as well as a 2 year old daughter (Ruthie) who is in Pre-K. My kids are my entire world!
When I am not teaching or with my family, I enjoy many activities. You can find me at the gym, camping, hiking/backpacking, kayaking on the river, sailing, exploring caves and more.

I am looking forward to starting my 16th year of teaching. Although not consecutive, this is my 11th year at Haw Creek. After teaching at Dave’s Creek for one year, I moved to Haw Creek when the school opened in 2009. In 2018, I moved to Riverwatch middle school to teach 7th grade math and then returned home to Haw Creek last year – I am so happy to be here! I am originally from CT and graduated from the University of Connecticut with a BS in Finance. I also received an MBA through the University of New Haven. After moving to Georgia in 2004, I earned my Master’s in Education from the University of Phoenix. my husband Alex and I have two children, Emily and Annie. Both are graduates of the University of Georgia – Go Dawgs! Emily is a Physician Assistant in Atlanta and Annie is a graphic designer in NYC. Our dog Ollie is 8, but still acts like a puppy – he has us very well trained! I am looking forward to another great school year!

Mrs. Tracey Northam
Hi there! I'm so excited to be a Haw Creek 5th Grade Teacher!
I graduated from the University of Alabama with a Masters in Healthcare Management and a Masters in Business Administration. I spent ten years in healthcare consulting before beginning my second career as a math teacher. I began teaching 5th grade at Haw Creek in 2013. I left for a few years to teach 7th grade math at Riverwatch Middle School but I'm so happy to be back in elementary!
My husband, Charlie, and I have two teenagers who keep us very busy! Garrett just finished his freshman year at Georgia Southern and will be continuing in the fall to earn his mechanical engineering degree. Olivia will be a senior at Forsyth Central High School. We also have two cats, Ginny and Phoebe, and two Golden Retrievers, Rosie and Daisy.
In my free time, I love to play tennis, go for walks, cook dinners for family and friends and just enjoy quiet time at home!
See you in August! Go Huskies!

Welcome to 5th grade! Not many people can say this, but I was born and raised in Atlanta, and have lived in Georgia my entire life except for a brief two years in Richmond, Va. This year will be my 18th year of teaching. I attended the University of Georgia (GO DAWGS!!) and also have a graduate degree from Georgia State. Together, my husband and I have four wonderful kids - all products of Forsyth County schools. Needless to say, they keep us on our toes! I'm looking forward to another great year at Haw Creek :)

Hello Haw Creek Huskies! My name is Lara Leigh Pullano. This year will be my 21st year of teaching. I attended Valdosta State University for my undergrad and later transferred and graduated from Georgia Southwestern State University. In addition, I also have my Masters in Reading & Math from Walden University. I have been happily married to my husband, Kyle, for 15 years! We have one daughter, Addison, who is very excited to be a 7th grader at Lakeside Middle School. Winnie is our 5-year-old cockapoo that loves to snuggle. In my spare time, I like to hang out with my friends and family, watch my daughter dance with her competition team, and relax on my porch. We also have a lot of fun and laughs around the Pullano house! I am looking forward to another great year at Haw Creek!
