I am so excited about starting a new school year here at Midway. I will be teaching Innovation Station for grades K-3 and gifted classes. This is my 23-year of teaching and I am still excited about beginning a new school year. I have two beautiful daughters that keep me very busy. One is a senior at Denmark and rides on an equestrian team and my youngest, who is a freshman and plays ECNL soccer. When I am not at school, I love spending time with my family and friends and my two boys, my dogs Declan and Bleu. I am looking forward to a fabulous year and can't wait to begin innovating new ideas with all of you!

Hello Mustangs! My name is Taylor Samples, but our students call me Coach! This year will be my seventh year calling Midway "Home". I am a lifelong resident of Forsyth County and have made my way through four of our wonderful schools. After graduating from North Forsyth, I received my Bachelor's degree in Health & Physical Education from the University of North Georgia. When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family, going on long walks, and hitting the golf course with my husband. I love to cheer on our Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Hawks, and the Georgia Bulldogs! My wonderful husband Cody and I have a beautiful daughter named Parker James and a sweet fur baby named Thatcher. I am looking forward to welcoming our movers and working alongside them to develop a lifelong love of movement!

This is my 3rd year as a Midway teacher. I am from North Carolina but have lived in GA for 22 years. I live with my family on a small horse farm just around the corner from school; we have 3 horses, chickens, a cat and a dog. Both of my kids attended Midway and now are in Middle School. My kids and my passion for running keep me very busy outside of school. I look forward to seeing each of you in the GYM soon. I love helping each Mustang become better fitter version of themselves!
