graduated from Georgia Southern in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree and again in 2021 with
a master’s degree. I am married to Ben Dickey and the daughter of Theron and Angie
Cates. I am excited to be back at JCES because it tmly feels like home. I love the teachers,
the students, the parents, and the community.

My name is Margo Hadden, and I am going to be teaching 4th grade Language Arts at
JCES this school year. I am a 2018 graduate of JCHS and a 2022 graduate of Georgia
Southern University’s College of Education. My husband Kane and I recently bought
a house here in Millen, and we share it with our three furbabies Jett, Fancy, and Kitty
Screech. I am very excited to be teaching at JCES because it feels like home. I am also
excited to impart the same love and care to your children that my teachers did for me. I
believe we are going to have a great year! Go Eagles!

’m Katie Whitlow. I graduated from Georgia Southern University in May 2023 with a dual
certification in special education and elementary education. I was top of my class and
was granted the Eagle Teacher Award in recognition of my work. I am currently working
toward my masters in special education from Georgia Southern. I have been married for 5
years and have a 3 year old son and 1 year old daughter. I spent my final semester student
teaching at JCES and I fell in love with the community, the teachers, and the students. I
am super excited to to call myself an Eagle and teach 5th grade at JCES!
Sierra Fields
Hey everyone! My name is Sierra Fields. I grew up in Jenkins County and graduated
from Jenkins County High School. Following graduation, I attended Georgia Southern
University where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Special and Elementary Education
with a reading endorsement. While attending Georgia Southern University, I married my
husband, Jacob, and welcomed a little boy, Bentley, into the world. I’m excited to return
home to Jenkins County this fall, where I will be teaching 4th grade ELA, and providing
little eagles with the knowledge they need to soar!
