Hello, my name is Amanda Coughlin. I have taught physical education for the past eight years, and I’m happy to say that this is my sixth-year teaching at Genesee Academy! I have my master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, and my bachelor’s degree in physical education. I am a mother to two boys, ages 5 and 3, so I enjoy family time at the park, going for walks, and reading books!

This is my 17th year as an educator, having served as a teacher, an instructional coach, and as a principal, but the classroom is my love. I came to GA in mid-December of the 2016-2017 school year, and it has been an excellent experience. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Education and English (2001) and a Master of Arts in Curriculum Development (2002) from Oakland City University, and a Master of Arts in Educational Technology (2015) from Michigan State University. Outside of school I enjoy playing softball, bowling, and golfing. I live in Flint, Michigan with my husband, Sean, and our four cats, Commando, Crookshanks, Chaucer, and Khaleesi.

Science

sgrant@gaflint.org
This will be my third year here at Genesee Academy. I have had amazing experiences as teacher at GA. Science has been the most fun to teach because we can do so many things outside of the textbook. I love to inspire my students to experience the great concepts we can get involved with. Outside of school I love to spend time with my family- my husband, my daughter Sadie, and my son Jace. We love to be outside walking or riding bikes. When inside we are usually either watching movies, or reading books together.
