Hello! My name is Danielle Alcala. I have worked in Forsyth County Schools for the past nine years and previously educated children in different roles since 2006. I have spent most of that time in the field of special education. I have a dual degree in early childhood education and special education from University of North Georgia and a master's in early childhood education from Piedmont College with an Autism Endorsement. I value building relationships with students and their families and look forward to another year at Haw Creek! My husband and I have three boys. Our oldest is a Marine and our younger two attend Otwell Middle. We enjoy spending time outdoors and hiking.

My name is Traci Avery, and I am so excited to start my 13th year at Haw Creek! I am a graduate of Georgia Southern University where I earned my degree in Special Education.

My husband Brett and I have wonderful 17 year old twins, Kyli and Michael. They will be seniors at South Forsyth High School.

My classroom goal is to provide a safe learning environment for each student to feel confident in order to grow. I have high expectations for each child and will provide the needed instruction to meet their goals. Together we, as parents and teachers, can provide the best education possible.

I am excited to begin my 21st year of teaching here in Forsyth County! Long ago, I graduated from Georgia Southern University and later attended Mercer University. My career began as a 3rd grade teacher. Seven years ago I began working in special education. When I am not at school, I enjoy working in my yard, watching HGTV, or doing craft projects.

This is my 17th year teaching special education and the start of my 8th year at Haw Creek. I received my degree in special education from Florida International University. My husband and I moved here from Miami, Florida 9 years ago. We have one little boy who keeps us busy. I truly love being a mommy! Aside from being passionate about teaching/motherhood I also enjoy cooking and running, and staying active. I am a self proclaimed foodie, so I love trying new foods and learning to cook new dishes!
