I have been married to my wonderful husband, John, for 15 years. We have 3 sons, ages 10,13, and my 14 year old will be attending Hillgrove High as a freshman this year.

Ms. Kari Brooks - 3rd
This will be my third year teaching at Hayes Elementary. I attended Valdosta State University where I received my bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Criminal Justice. When I graduated college, I stayed in south Georgia and worked as an in-home family counselor with “at risk” children. The kids I worked with were at risk to be removed from their home because of behavioral problems and/or criminal problems. After moving back to Cobb, I continued my education and just completed my Master's Degree in Special Education. I have been married to my wonderful husband for four years. We live for SEC football every season. However, my husband is a University of Georgia fan and I am a Tennessee Volunteers fan! He does cheer for my team ~ until they play each other! We are expecting our first child in February and we could not be happier. We do have an eight-year-old black lab ( Dixie ) and she is excited too. |

My name is Keelan O'Donell Cathey and I have been a third grade teacher at Hayes for eight years. I graduated from Kennesaw State University in 2001. I grew up in a small town on Long Island, New York abut have lived here in Georgia since 1997.
I have been blessed with a two and a half year old daughter, Sheridan. She and I love to go swimming together and this summer she saw her first show at the Fox Theater!
In addition to teaching third grade, I am also a swim instructor. Before becoming a teacher, I studied vocal performance; I'm a musician at heart.
I love to laugh and always look forward to seeing smiling students fill the hallways and classrooms of Hayes Elementary School. |

I moved to the Kennesaw area about 2 years ago when I accepted a job teaching here at Hayes. I previously lived in Johnson City, Tennessee. I hold a Bachelor's Degree from East Tennessee State University in Special Education with a minor in Human Development and Learning, and a Master's Degree from Milligan College in Early Childhood Education, preschool-third grade concentration.

Enough about me though, I want you to know that I feel very privileged to be a part of the Hayes team and a part of your child's life. I truly do love each and every one of your children and I want to provide them with the best possible education. Please feel free to contact me anytime. I will always make time in my schedule to meet with you or assist you in any way I can. Go Mustangs!
