Trisha Hardin, a first grade teacher at McCall Primary School, hugs her former students during a visit from seniors from North Cobb High School as they talk about their time at McCall Primary School in Acworth on Tuesday, May 23. Hardin taught many of the visiting students and has been teaching in Cobb County for 18 years and plans to retire at the end of this year. When asked about her time in the classroom, Hardin said, “I wanted to teach children that they could be anything they wanted to be,” and that teaching “gives life purpose.” Students who were in the first class to attend McCall Primary in 2005 visited their past teachers to express their gratitude before going off to college.

Old and new teachers at McCall Primary School in Acworth took a stroll down memory lane as they were surprised by graduating seniors who started their academic journey as first graders there.
The teachers were gathered for an event in the school’s library when about two dozen seniors from North Cobb High School, who graduated from the first grade at McCall in 2005, were led in.
You can read more about the reunion at myAJC.com, which also includes a video of special moments between the teachers and their former students.
