A Little About Mrs. McKissic...
I am originally from Detroit, MI where I graduated from
Western Michigan University. I moved to Georgia and
began teaching right away. I went on to receive my Masters
in Integrating Technology in the Classroom from Walden
University. I have been teaching math for 7 years and this
will be my first year at Sandy Creek High School. I am
married with three children. My hobbies are traveling,
dancing, and Zumba!
