Hi! I am Donna Hoagland, (aka Ms. HoHo) newest addition to Cahaba Heights Exceptional Education Department. I have worked in the Vestavia Hills City School System as a para-educator since 2012. During that time, I saw the amazing work that this Special Education Department was doing and wanted to do more! I studied long and hard and passed the Praxis Test in 2015 and was able to get my certification for Alabama reinstated. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education (ages 3- 21 years old) that I earned from the University of Alabama in Birmingham. I have been called to serve the special education community since I was in high school and now have my dream job, in my dream school, in my dream department.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 25 years and we have 3 wonderful children that keep us laughing and very busy. Our son, ( 22 yrs. old) attends UAB, our oldest daughter (20 yrs. old) attends the University of Alabama and our youngest daughter (17 yrs. old) is a senior in high school.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a bit better!

Donna Hoagland
