My name is Jana Forrester, and I have been teaching Physical Education for 27 years. I am originally from Alabama, where I graduated from Auburn University with both my bachelors and masters degrees. I started my teaching career in Auburn City Schools, before moving to Georgia. I taught 6-8 grade in Griffin, Georgia for two years and coached basketball at Kelsey Middle and softball and golf at Griffin High. Later, I moved to Carroll County and have been teaching in the Temple community for over 20 years. I have taught at Providence for the last 10 years.  I am also in charge of the running program at PES known as the Pavement Paws. I was named Teacher of the Year for Temple Middle School in 2014 and for Providence Elementary in 2018.  In 2022, I was selected as a "Top 50 Educator" for the National Education Association.  I had the opportunity to  represent Georgia in Washington, DC. I currently serve as the local president for the Carroll County Association of Educators and the past president for the Georgia Association of Physical Educators.  At Providence, I am in the house of Reveur.  Go Wolves! I am excited about a great year ahead.
