Abner Creek Middle School

💻 Happy National IT Professionals Day! 💻 Today, we’re celebrating the two incredible people who work behind the scenes to keep Abner Creek Middle School connected and running smoothly! From helping teachers with technology in the classroom to making sure our students have the tools they need to learn, our IT professionals are always there when we need them. They troubleshoot, problem-solve, fix, support, and somehow make the technology work when we’re convinced it never will! 😄 We are so thankful for all you do for our teachers and students each and every day. Your work may happen behind the scenes, but your impact is seen throughout our entire school! Thank you for keeping our Wolfpack connected! 🐺💻 Happy National IT Professionals Day Mr. Cureton and Mrs. Harrison!

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!

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!
