Teacher Bio

My name is Hope Calvert. I am from Northwest Alabama. I spent four years in Music Education at the University of North Alabama. I then switched to Social and Criminal Justice with the plan to work with juveniles to help them turn their life around. After an accident while directing traffic, I am now teaching elementary school.

I chose elementary school so that I could make an impact where it is needed in grades 3-6. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn, we just have to find how each student learns and guide them towards a love of learning. Once that love has been established, children can soar.  

I have always wanted to move to the mountains in North Carolina, start a farm, and work to help children change their stars. I have a pack of Siberian Huskies. Outside of teaching I love to design and make t-shirts. I also make handmade dog collars and bandanas. I love to coach softball/baseball and I love teaching percussion and playing percussion as well. Photography is somewhat of a hobby, especially here in the gorgeous Appalachian Mountains in Western North Carolina.
