My name is Allison Chase. This will be my 7th year teaching and I'm lucky enough to say that all of those years have been spent at McConnell! I graduated from UTC in 2012 with a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education with an endorsement in Special Education.
I am extremely lucky to be the Percussion Caption Head for the Hixson High School Percussion section. This will be my 10th year working with these wonderful students. Music is a huge passion of mine.
Teaching seems more like a privilege than a job. Getting to work with and learn from my students every day is an opportunity unlike any other. They teach me much more than I could ever hope to teach them. For me, getting the chance to make a small difference and be the bright light in a child's day makes it all worth it.
I am blessed with a wonderful and loving family and the most amazing group of friends I could ask for.
Life can throw you the most unexpected curveballs at the most unexpected times. Always be willing and open to those things because they aren't always a coincidence, sometimes they are the gifts you've been waiting for.
