My name is Kachina Rucker.  I have lived in the small town of Elberton, GA all my life, and I am currently working here as well.  I'm working at the Elbert County Comprehensive High School, that I attended 10 years ago, in the special education department with students that have learning disabilities, other health impairments and behaviors problems.  I have 10 students on my caseload this year. Being a special educator is not for everyone, but I feel like this is my destiny on earth. 

                           



I am 28 years old.  I have two boys, Jarmel and KeShawn, which are 10 and 11 years old.  I love to play kickball, basketball, and tennis with my family.  I am married to  one of Elbert County's greatest football player, Derrick Rucker.  Our football stadium is a very unique site to see. I have worked at many factories while obtaining my bachelors degree in Sports Management from Emmanuel College.  After I graduated from college, I worked at Curves as a fitness technician for a year.  I am currently attending Valdosta State University to obtain initial certification and my masters is special education.


                                                                                  


This year I will be co-teaching with Mrs.Ward in ABC I and Mrs.Rivers in World Literature.  ABC I will consist of all the students that have failed this course and this is their last chance to pass this class, because this class is no longer offered under the GPS curriculum.  World Literature will consist of juniors.  One website that the students in ABC I will use will be animal diversity.
