My name is Michael Fernandez and I am thrilled about becoming a New Prospect Panther!
I’m a native Georgian from Marietta, graduated from UGA, and have been teaching for 5 years. I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade in the past, and have a love for middle-grades literature. I enjoy building relationships with students and joking around in order to create a positive atmosphere of laughter and learning. Also, I am joining my wife, Katie Fernandez, at New Prospect and couldn’t be more excited!
Outside of school, I enjoy working out, watching movies, reading, and taking unintentionally long naps. I’m looking forward to sharing dad jokes and bad puns with everyone this year!
