Hello! My name is Tracy Hayward  and I teach 8th grade English. I am looking forward to a school year enriched with learning and exploration of literature through a mastery of reading and writing skills.  My goal is to provide students with the necessary tools to not only be successful in my class, but in all future academic endeavors as well. The students in my classroom are the future of the world. I do not take my job lightly and hope to be their best role model, coach, and fan!
