My name is Michelle Aga, and I am passionate about teaching. I received my Bachelor’s degree from Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, LA, and I received my Master’s degree from Georgia State University in Mathematics Education. I taught one year in St. Charles Parish, LA (5th grade), then moved to the Atlanta area in 1985. I taught three years in DeKalb County (4th and 5th grade) and thirteen years in Gwinnett County (Middle School mathematics). I took five years off when I had my youngest daughter. In 2006, I began teaching again. I taught private Pre-K for two years. In 2008, I was hired as a kindergarten teacher at River Eves Elementary in Fulton County. I was moved to 5th grade in 2009 and I taught 5th grade until spring 2016, except for the 2011-2012 school year where I asked to be moved to fourth grade as my youngest daughter was a 5th grader. In 2016 I began teaching TAG at Northwood Elementary. This year I will continue teaching TAG-I love it! I am thrilled with the opportunity to teach your wonderful children. Though this is my seventh year as a teacher at Northwood Elementary, I was a parent in the Centennial Cluster for 20 years.
As we journey together through TAG Units, I look forward to getting to know and work with each and every one of you. Thank you in advance for your support. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me: school (470)254-6390 or e-mail aga@fultonschools.org
My Family:
My family is very important to me! I have two girls.
My oldest is 28 and is a student at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. She will begin her clinicals at University of Tennessee in August. She got married in 2021 and she literally marred a "Prince" as her last name is now Prince.
My youngest is 21 and is a Senior at Furman University. She is double majoring in Biology and French and plans on going to medical school. She applied to 10 schools this summer, so we will see.
My husband opened his own business in 2010-The Pet Resorts-Cumming. My husband likes traveling, hiking, golf, and hockey.
My Pets:
We have two dogs-a Havanese named Ginger, and a Morkie named Leo. We had three dogs, but Lucy passed away in the spring.
Hobbies:
I enjoy traveling, reading, puzzles, hiking/walking, bike riding, making crafts, redecorating, and painting. We have a cabin in North Carolina which allows me to get away some weekends and relax.
