Welcome to 5th Grade! My name is Hannah Ballard. I will be your reading and english language arts teacher this year in 5th grade. 

I grew up in Dothan, AL where I graduated high school from Dothan High School. I attended Troy University and graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education in 2016. I continued my education at Troy University where I completed my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education in May of 2020. 

I am married. My husband, Evan and I, live in Midland City. We have two kids, Bryce, who is 5 years old and Gracie, who is 3 years old. We also have a yellow lab named Chloe. I have been teaching for eight years, and this is my sixth year at South Dale Middle School. 

I am so excited to get to know each of you this year!
