Time for another #ABSSAskStaff Spotlight on Couples! 💗 David is the Head Basketball Coach 🏀 of Southern Middle School and Erin is the Principal of AO Elementary. Erin says, "We met at Eastlawn Elementary School during my first year of teaching.

Todd & Brandi McKinney have been working in ABSS since 1997! Todd is the PE Teacher at Newlin Elementary and Brandi is the ESL Teacher at AO Elementary and Western Alamance Middle School. Brandi shared, "Todd and I started dating in July 1992. I was 19 and he was 21. We got married in July 1997 and moved from PA to NC in August 1997 to begin working for ABSS. He started at Broadview Middle as a PE teacher and I started at Haw River as a 3rd-grade teacher. Todd moved to Newlin Elementary in 1999 and has been there ever since. I taught at Haw River for 10 years before moving to Hillcrest and then AO. We have loved working in the same field. It has allowed us to have a lot of time together with our children as they grew up and enjoy some epic vacations." #ABSSAskStaff
