I have been a teacher for twenty years in Catawba county.  I grew up in Caldwell county and attended South Caldwell High School.  My dad taught and coached at South Caldwell for 37 years.  After high school, I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  My degree is in Exercise and Sport Science/Physical Education.  I received my teaching license at Appalachian State University.  I am blessed to have a beautiful family.  My son and daughter both go to school in Caldwell county and are my pride and joy.  I enjoy working out, hunting, and fishing in the free time that I have!

 My office hours during this Distance Learning will be anytime one requests.  I will be more than happy to Google Meet with anyone at anytime.  Just email me at alanford@caldwellschools.com. 

I will have Google Meets with 6th grade on Tuesdays from 11:20-12.  7th grade is Wednesdays from 11:20-12.  8th grade is Thursdays from 11:20-12.  Thank you!!
