About the Teacher:
Welcome to the GT webpage!
My name is McCall Hawthorne. This is my 5th year here at Sabine Elementary in the GT position. I have taught for 16 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 a Freshman and a member of the Sabine High School Cardinal Band. We absolutely adore being a part of Sabine ISD.
