Hayes' Bio

Hello!  My name is Chris Hayes and very excited about teaching my 6th year here at the College & Career Academy.  This will be my 24rd year in education and I am very excited to be finishing up my doctorate next year in educational leadership as well.  I am married to my beautiful wife Jennifer of 27 years and we have three children: Caleb-26, Aaron-23, and Anna Kathryn- 19.  My wife is also a teacher and works with 2nd graders at Unity Christian School.   I currently live in Calhoun, GA and have become the product of empty nesters. Caleb and Abigail are married going on three years now with a son, Lincoln who I adore.   Being a grandparent is awesome! Aaron is a paramedic now saving life's in the medical field day in and day out and Anna currently is attending Young Harris college in Blairsville, GA where she is pursuing musical theatre as a major.   I started my career out of college as a certified athletic trainer in 1997.  I followed that profession for 6 years before deciding to go into teaching and have not looked back.  I have coached high school football 17 of my 24 years .  My previous schools were Gordon Central, North Murray, Lafayette, Calhoun, and now here teaching at the CCA.  My wife and I enjoy traveling and are big time Georgia Bulldog fans.  We typically will go 2-3 times per year if time allows.  Investing time in my doctorate occupies most of my time but I do enjoy the fall and getting back into the groove of doing what I love...….teaching.  Please feel free to contact, share, or email me with any questions you might have about me or my classes.  Have a great day and a better tomorrow!
