Welcome to 5th Grade! My name is Hannah Ballard. I will be your math teacher this year in 5th grade. 

I grew up in Dothan, AL, where I graduated from Dothan High School. I attended Troy University and graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education in 2016, as well as my Master's Degree in May 2020. Recently, I completed the Teacher Leader Education Specialist program at The University of West Alabama and received my degree in June 2025. 

My husband, Evan, and I live in Midland City. We have two kids who attend school in the Dale County school system. I have been teaching for nine years, and this is my seventh year at South Dale Middle School. 

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