I am so excited to start a new school year here at Midway for 23-24. I teach Science Innovation Station here at Midway for grades K-5. This is my 24th year of teaching and I can't wait to begin creating, exploring, and innovating new ideas with all of you in science this year. I have two beautiful daughters that keep me very busy. One is a freshman at KSU and on the equestrian team and one is a sophomore at Denmark and plays ECNL soccer. When I am not at school, I love spending time with my family, friends, and just chilling with my two boys, my dogs Declan and Bleu. I am looking forward to a fabulous year!

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!
