Hello! My name is...
Claire Cooley
Fifth Grade Teacher
I am proud to be a Winston Wildcat!
As a native of this area, I attended Eastside and Burnett Elementary, Stewart Middle, and Douglas County High School. I received my degrees in Early Childhood Education and Physical Education from La Grange College, and have worked in various areas of education for over 20 years. I have taught 17 years as a classroom teacher, worked as Gifted coordinator for two years, and served as a Director of Children's Ministries at a large church for five years.
I was also a stay at home mom for ten years. My son and daughter are now in their twenties, and I love spending time with them although they no longer live at home. I also enjoy reading, writing, traveling, shopping, and SEC football season. Roll Tide!
As a teacher, I maintain consistently high and clear expectations for my students. I wholeheartedly believe that with encouragement, right access to materials, and support, all children can develop into lifelong readers, writers and learners.
