Student Support

My name is Deana Brown. I am so excited for another wonderful year here at Coal Mountain Elementary. I have worked as a professional school counselor in Forsyth County Schools since 2007. Prior to transitioning to public education I worked in clinical settings including outpatient settings, hospitals, and crisis stabilization units. I have also served as both an administrator and faculty member in higher education training future counselors. I am incredibly honored to be trusted with your most precious children and truly enjoy helping each grow and develop into successful and happy individuals.

 I am Gina Landis and I moved to Forsyth County in 2007 with my husband John. We have two daughters Isabella and Sophia. I had taught for 8 years and then had the opportunity to stay home with my daughters and was fortunate to come back to a wonderful teaching community at Coal Mountain in 2011. I have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, was a Literacy Coach and now have the opportunity to be apart of the EIP program I am excited for another wonderful year at CMES.

I love teaching speech and language at Coal Mountain. I love it so much that this is my 26th year here and I am still as excited to see progress in students as I was my first year. I grew up in Forsyth County and have raised my personal children in this school system. My husband also teaches in this county. Forsyth County Schools are near and dear to my heart. I have many experiences that have shaped me professionally and increased my expertise in the area of speech and language and I look forward to the next years growing with my students and we all progress and strive to be better. I enjoy being outdoors, hanging with friends as well as exploring new things and new places. Looking forward to a new year next year! LET's DO THIS!
