Mrs. Angela My name is Angela McClure and I have been teaching for more than 16 years. I have lived in Ellijay since 1992 and am originally from Dawson County. My husband, Jeff McClure, and I have one son, Isom. I received my Montessori degree from The United Montessori Association Teacher Certification Program. My undergraduate degree is from Piedmont College in Spanish and Psychology and I earned my Master's degree in Early Childhood Education at North Georgia College. I also studied in Spain for eight weeks through the University of San Francisco. I am dedicated to helping children develop positive self-esteem, independence and a love of learning. Please e-mail me if you have any questions!

Mrs. Linda I have been enjoying the smiles and success of children for 34 years. I believe that God brings certain people into our lives for a reason. Sometimes, it's to help us see something new and wonderful, sometimes, it's to encourage us and strengthen our purpose and sometimes it's just to remind us that we are never truly alone. Ms. Angela and the Montessori School were brought into my life for a very special reason. I cherish the opportunity to share our smiles, our dreams and even our tears.

Mrs. "K"

Mrs. Jamie My name is Jamie Urgent. I moved to Ellijay in December 2007 to be near my family. (I am a Florida transplant). Two of my five sons live in Ellijay and we are working diligently to convince the rest to move here. I attended the University of Miami with my major in Nursing. After many years working in the field of pediatrics, my love for children lead me to be a school nurse and teach a Pre-K class for eight years. Since my relocation, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be part of the teaching staff of Pleasant Hills Montessori School, as well as part of your children's lives. Please call me anytime - I will always make myself available for your questions, comments or helpful suggestions regarding your child.	Photo coming Soon!
Mrs. Pat Hello, I am Pat Key. After 32 years experience at all levels of the educational ladder, from Pre-K to administration, I thought retirement was for me. Alas, it was not to be. I worked for the Appalachian Juvenile Court in Fannin, Gilmer and Pickens County as a child advocate for 6 years. Now, I am back in the classroom and am feeling revitalized and renewed by the Montessori Environment and especially the environment at Pleasant Hills Montessori School. My educational credentials include Bachelor’s, Master’s and Educational Specialist degrees. My teaching experience covers a wide range including Language Arts, Social Studies, Special Education, Reading Specialist, Early Childhood and Pre-Kindergarten Education. Thank you for letting me share in the adventure of education that you and your children are embarking on as the new school year begins.	Photo coming Soon!
