1-3 Grade Teacher/Principal: Ms. Fernandez
Hi! I’m Ms. Fernandez, and I’m so happy to be part of the Shoal Creek Adventist School family! I come from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, and I love bringing the warmth, joy, and vibrant spirit of my culture into everything I do, especially in the classroom.
I’m passionate about teaching and believe that learning is a lifelong journey. I want every child to grow not just academically, but also mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I see it as a sacred calling to help prepare students not only for life, but for God’s kingdom. One of my favorite verse is found in Isaiah 26:3
When I’m not teaching, you’ll likely find me outdoors, singing, or enjoying a good game of sports (yes, I can be a little competitive in a fun way!). I believe that learning should be active, joyful, and full of purpose. It’s a blessing to serve at Shoal Creek, and I look forward to helping our students thrive and become all that God created them to be!

6th-8th Grade Teacher: Noe Grady
Hi! I’m Ms. Grady and I’m the home room teacher for 5th and 6th grade, but I also teach science and Language Arts to the 7th and 8th graders. I was born on the island of Oahu in Hawaii but lived most of my life in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. A couple of years ago, I moved to Georgia and, despite the heat, think it’s pretty awesome. I graduated from Andrews University in 2021 with the intent on becoming a veterinarian, but through an unexpected turn of events, ended up finding out that I enjoy teaching more! A few of my favorite things and hobbies are: playing the piano, riding horses, playing board games with friends and family, mission trips to foreign countries, and volleyball.
