Several 8th grade students interested in the aggregate industry got to tour our very own Lyman rock quarry here in District 5! Part of the career exploration program at Abner Creek Middle, these students were exposed to career fields in welding, diesel machinery, agriculture, and engineering; many jobs of which of which can be obtained right out of high school with RD Anderson certifications. The Lyman rock quarry offers apprenticeship programs to high school graduates as well!
We are so proud of the opportunities for career development right here in our community! Thanks for having us Vulcan Rock Quarry in Lyman!

Last, but not least, another familiar face in a new role! Meet Ms. Guker!
"I have many family members who are in the education system that inspired me to become a teacher, but the one with the most impact on my life was my mom. I could see the impact she was making on her students' lives not only inside the classroom, but also beyond the four walls. I could see that being an educator is about so much more than just teaching. I knew that I wanted to be a teacher because I wanted to make the same impact on my students lives as I saw my mother doing for many years.
I am super excited to be joining the Abner Creek family and officially become part of the staff. I have seen the positive environment and welcoming atmosphere that is created around the school, and it is something I am thrilled to be a part of. I can’t wait to enter into my 3rd season of volleyball and my first year of teaching!"
Welcome to the pack Ms. Guker!

He's already a familiar face, but now he's in a new role! Meet Mr. Latimer!
"I’m from Belton, SC. I am married with 3 children. I have been in education for 10+ years, doing a number of things throughout Anderson School District 2 schools. I’ve attended Southern Wesleyan University, and I will be graduating from Walden U!
My mother inspired me to be a teacher. Seeing how hard she has worked and how much time she has dedicated to her students over the past 20 years really inspired me to do the same.
I’m excited to start a new journey in 6th grade. A teacher role is something I’ve worked towards these past few years so I’m excited!"
Welcome to the pack Mr. Latimer!

Another new face to our faculty this year! Meet Catherine Hosack.
"I have two beautiful girls ages 10 and 12, and I am constantly re-doing the landscaping of my front yard. I also grew up in the Myrtle Beach area (but I prefer nearly any other beach).... Fun fact? I studied abroad in Finland in college! I decided to change careers when I missed the educational environment, and I legitimately enjoy kiddos! I'm so excited for my first year at Spartanburg 5! It's my seventh year teaching, but it's always been in Greenville County. I've heard such amazing things about Spartanburg District 5, so I'm super excited to be here."
Welcome to the pack Ms. Hosack!

Next up, get to meet Ms. Gowan!
"As a graduate of this district, I am excited to return and give back to the community that shaped me. My experience as a Teaching Fellow at the University of South Carolina strengthened my passion for education and confirmed my lifelong dream of becoming a teacher. I hope to make a positive impact on my students just as my teachers did for me.
I am most excited to have my own classroom where I can make a positive impact on my students each day!"
Welcome to the pack Ms. Gowan!
