Hello! My name is Katie Gourlay and this is my 5th year teaching as an elementary school teacher. I am originally from Glasgow, Scotland but I have also taught in Malawi, Africa for 3 years. I have also taught in London, England.
I am fulfilling a life-long ambition to become a teacher and it is my aim to create a fun, active but safe learning environment, where all children contribute to the learning process.

Hello! My name is Sarah Huskey and I am excited to have joined the Stough Family back in January. I am a Raleigh native and grew up as a student in the Wake County Public School System and I have enjoyed giving back as a teacher. The Harnett County Public School System is where I first started my teaching career and gradually made it into Wake County as a 3rd grade reading teacher. I have spent time in both 2nd and 3rd grade as well as kindergarten reading/math intervention and back into a classroom as a second grade teacher for several years before coming to Stough. Here, I will be teaching English to the K-2 Mandarin Immersion classes and digging into reading which is my passion. My husband and I just welcomed our first child back in September and we are enjoying every minute of parenthood. Traveling, spending time at the beach with family and watching football are some of my joys in life.

My name is Haining Liu and I have been teaching for 9 years. I am from China and have taught in my hometown for 3 years,where I received my B.A. in teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language; then I moved to South Korea and taught there for 4 years,where I earned my M.A. in TESOL. This is my third year teaching in America, and currently I hold K-6 teacher license.  My goal for your child is to provide a Chinese immersion environment, including Chinese language and Chinese culture. I love to share my global view with my kids and am trying my best to broaden their understanding of the world.

My name is Janet Walsh-Davis and I’m an international teacher from Jamaica.  I will be joining the 3rd Grade Team at Stough this year; and it is a pleasure to be a part of the Wake County Public School System.  I have been an educator for over twenty years serving both in Jamaica and the United States. I have spent five years teaching in the South Carolina School System and I enjoyed my experience. I am adventurous, with a passion for teaching and learning; which gives me the drive to share this passion with the students I serve.  I’m currently pursuing my Doctoral Degree from the American School of Education. I have a Masters Degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Bachelor’s Degree from Nova Southeastern University. I look forward to working with you for the 2018/2019 school year; as we work together to ensure each child is a success.
