Hello, Nighthawks! I am Slavka Juresic, and I am the Head Custodian here at New Hope!

I am originally from Bosnia. I have lived here in the United States for more than 25 years! I have been working as a custodian for Forsyth County Schools for almost 18 years, and I have been a Head Custodian for the past 15 years.

My husband is Tonco, and we have 2 children. My daughter is Ana and she is married and has two little girls. My granddaughters are my world! I also have a son, Ivan. I truly believe the saying that "Home is wherever your family is!" Family is my favorite thing but I also enjoy being outdoors and hiking in my free time.

I love making New Hope a safe and happy place for students, parents and staff!

Hola! My name is Laura Chavez and I am one of the custodians here at New Hope. This is my first time working at a school and I love it! Not only do I like the job, but I love the staff and students here also. My parents were originally from Mexico and I am proud of my Mexican heritage. My family also includes my three sons as well as our family dog! 

Hi, my name is Sean Culligan. This is my first year working for Forsyth County Schools. I am originally from Atlanta and lived in Idaho and California before moving back to Georgia. I attended South Forsyth High School and Georgia Southern University. I have two sons (24, 21) and a daughter (11) who attends Otwell Middle School. I enjoy soccer, trivia and watching football. I’m happy to be one of the custodians here at New Hope, and I look forward to being a positive male influence for our students during their time at school.
