Hello, my name is George Coe. I am glad to be at Lanier Elementary, the best kept secret in Blount County schools. The staff and students here are the best ever! My teaching assistant is Mrs. Wanda Holder. She tells me daily how lucky I am to have her, and I agree.
I graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, with a Master's degree in Elementary Education. I also hold a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice and a Master's in Public Administration. I retired from the Air Force with 25 years military service before I began my teaching career. I have taught for one year in Alcoa Middle School-6th grade, six weeks at Fort Craig Elementary- 3rd/4th split, one year as a Teacher's Assistant at Rockford Elementary- 4th Grade, six months at Rockford Elementary- 2nd grade, nine weeks at William Blount Middle School- 6th grade, nine months at Heritage Middle School- 6th grade, amd one year as a 5th grade teacher at Rockford Elementary, prior to my arrival at Lanier Elementary- 2nd grade. Second graders rule!
I was born in Abingdon, Virginia, several hundred years ago. I am married to a lovely lady from Istanbul, Turkey, who is a nurse at Cardiologists of Knoxville. Our daughter is a freshman at East Tennessee University, studying Dental Hygiene. I have been a Blount county resident since 1992.
