About the Teacher:

Welcome to the GT webpage!

My name is McCall Hawthorne. This is my fourth year here at Sabine Elementary in the GT position. I have taught for 15 years at both Kilgore ISD and Union Grove ISD. My family is very involved in SISD. My husband is the High School Band Director and our son Thomas is in 8th grade and a member of the Middle School Cross Country team and in the Honors Band. We absolutely adore being apart of Sabine ISD.
