My name is Hunter Credle and I have taught for 29 years and almost all of this time, 6th grade.  I grew up in Wilmington, NC and graduated from NC State University.  

In 1998 I helped start Kestrel Height Charter school and stayed there for 19 years.  I have been at Voyager for the last 7 years.  In addition to teaching, I have coached for all my years of teaching, plus more.  I have coached basketball, soccer, frisbee, track and field, cross country, tennis, golf, swimming, and anything else sports related.

Mrs. Daugherty is a graduate of Meredith College and is the sixth grade Exceptional Children's teacher. She has a passion for working with students and advocating for what they need to be successful in the classroom. She and her husband are Disney enthusiasts! Mrs. Daugherty has 4 daughters, one attending Voyager in 12th grades.

Welcome to Sixth Grade English Language Arts! This year, we will read exciting novels such as Hatchet and Flush, exploring the adventures, challenges, and themes that make these stories meaningful. As students read throughout the year, they will make connections between the texts and their own lives while using writing to express their thoughts, ideas, and personal reflections.  I am looking forward to a wonderful year of reading, writing, learning, and growing together! 

This year makes 22 years in the classroom since graduating from Appalachian State University (Go 'Neers!). I joined the sixth grade team at Voyager in 2008 and in 2021 I made the switch from teaching Science to Core Connections. I love that this class lends itself to creating purposeful, engaging and exciting projects that join core knowledge to art, technology, and real world connections. Seeing students come alive and explore their passions in meaningful ways is what fuels me! When I'm not teaching I enjoy spending time with my husband and 3 awesomely rambunctious kids, traveling, hiking, doing photography, and sipping iced coffee.

Hello and welcome to 6th grade science! I am delighted to be teaching your child this year! We will begin the year with some get-to-know-you activities and go over classroom procedures and expectations. We will focus on instilling helpful habits that will set your child up for a successful school year and beyond. This year in science we will learn about the scientific method, space, planet earth and all of its layers, as well as the biological, environmental and the physical sciences.  

I look forward to a great year!

In a nutshell: routine and varied, old school and new school, history and community, in a blender of projects and polished outcomes.

I LOVE teaching. My goal is to get our students to think like a historian; to look at multiple sides of a story and learn about the perspectives of different sides during the same event. More importantly, I work to teach students to support one another as we build a creative and deep thinking community.

I'm also a mom (my kids are in 6th and 8th grade at Voyager), I'm a runner, teacher (21 years), and reading enthusiast! I read 15 books this summer. Also, I am learning to play bongos and footbag (hacky sack). I was a French teacher for 11 years and am fluent in French.
