A little about Mrs. Ann Marie McGhee:

Every now and then, a person comes into your life who enriches your world in unforgettable ways and even when they are no longer around, you are forever changed for the positive. 
Ann Marie McGhee was that person.  Mrs. McGhee touched the lives of so many people just by virtue of who she is, and her influence grew throughout her career as an educator. Teachers like Mrs. McGhee are rare gems. Every student who was fortunate enough to be in Mrs. McGhee’s class can attest to the immense positive influence she had. Mrs. McGhee had the innate ability to reach every student in her class and help them to become the best version of themselves. 


Mrs. McGhee possessed so many amazing qualities that made her an amazing educator and person. She was dedicated to her work and deeply passionate about education. She was inclusive to everyone no matter the person’s background or culture and made sure to not only include differences but celebrate them. Mrs. McGhee was a problem solver and bringer of solutions. Whenever a problem arose, she did not hesitate to jump in and work to find the best solution. Mrs. McGhee loved to learn, she adored her students, and had tremendous pride in Horse Creek Academy.
