My name is Joe Gressette aka Coach G. This is my first year teaching at Nation Ford but my third year with the school. I have been a football coach here for the past two seasons and am excited about the third! I will be teaching Child Development 1 as well as Personal Finance. I am originally from Laurens, South Carolina but moved around to Dallas, Texas then to Louisville, Kentucky and finally back to Rock Hill, South Carolina. I live with my wonderful wife and our 5 animals. My hobbies include coaching football, playing video games, and going to the movies. I am beyond excited to start this new journey teaching and couldn’t think of a better place than Nation Ford! Go Falcons!

Hello, I am Renee' Kozlowski.   This is my 36th year of teaching, 21 of which have been in the Fort Mill School District. I began teaching at Fort Mill High School and then transferred to Nation Ford when it opened in 2007. I also currently co-sponsor two clubs, YCI and Y4A. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where we learn, create and have fun. Outside of the classroom, I love spending time with my husband, children, grandloves, family and friends. 

Classes Taught: Child Development 1, Introduction to Teaching 1, Intro to Teaching II and Work Based Learning

I started teaching in South Florida in 2007 after graduating from the University of Florida with my bachelors and masters degree in Early Childhood and Special Education. My family and I moved to Fort Mill in 2015 and I taught kindergarten at Gold Hill Elementary for 8 years before becoming the 4 Year Old Lab teacher at Nation Ford High in 2023. In high school I was a student in the Early Childhood lab program so now it’s a full circle moment that I get to teach in the program and have the opportunity to help future teachers. I have 2 daughters and my husband is an air traffic controller at the CLT Airport. I love sharing my love of reading with my students and traveling to new places with my family!
