My name is Michelle Jarvis and I am honored to serve the students, staff, and families of the Big Creek community. I graduated from North Georgia College and State University with a degree in Psychology. I later received my certification in Early Childhood Education from Brenau University, an ESOL endorsement, Master's Degree in Reading and Literacy from Walden University, and Teacher Support and Coaching endorsement.  I have taught all grades K-6, ESOL, and EIP. My husband Clete and I are empty nesters with three grown children, Abby, AJ and wife Bailey, and Madison and fiancé Kyle.  I am looking forward to another wonderful year at Big Creek!

My name is Bethany McClurkan and I have been in education since 1994. I love supporting teachers and engaging students in authentic learning as they explore the world around them! I am passionate about learning and am always listening to podcasts or digging into the latest book on educational practices. My husband writes and illustrates children's literature and I have two adult children, a daughter that is married and lives in Woodstock and a son in California. We like to spend time outdoors hiking, having family game nights, and browsing bookstores for children's literature!
