Welcome New QHMS Staff Members
Ms. Roseboro, 8th Grade Humanities Teacher
Ms. Johnson, Secondary Assistant
I am a Secondary Assistant who supports the hardworking and devoted ELA 6th grade staff. I enjoy reviewing material with students one-on-one or in small groups, and it inspires me to make a difference. This is my first year at Quail Hollow, however, I have worked with youth for seven years. In addition, I am eager to lend a helping hand, build relationships, and collect as much experience as possible from the knowledgeable Falcon staff. I received my undergraduate degree from Queens University of Charlotte in Human Services with a Minor in Communications and Studies of Education. In my spare time, I enjoy thrifting, listening to music, and being Supermom. Motherhood to two little people can be hectic at times but very rewarding. Furthermore, my goals consist of pursuing a Master’s Degree in Education and becoming a part-time Makeup Artist.
Mrs. McCain, Tutor
My name is Stephanie McCain. I am married with three children. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, listening to music, watching basketball. I received my BA from UNC-Chapel Hill. I also have a Conversational Spanish Certification from The Language Academy of the Carolinas. Upon joining the Falcon family, I worked in education for 9 years. What I have enjoyed most about my job is being able to share love with my students through teaching, hugs, smiles, and encouraging words. I am excited to be a part of the Quail Hollow family.
Ms. Saxon, Tutor
Hello my name is Sayleon Saxon, and It is my pleasure to work at Quail Hollow Middle School . The staff here have been very welcoming and caring . I have been in Charlotte N.C for almost ten years and love the city. My family and I moved here from Dallas Texas. In Dallas Texas I was a correctional officer for several years, and then I was promoted to an advocate in the jail system. I changed careers after graduating from college at the age of 39. I started substituting in Dallas after I received my bachelors in business management. I'm married with three children in which two are grown and one is in the sixth grade at McClintock Middle School. I worked as a Teacher Assistant for Lincoln Heights academy for four years, and a Substitute Teacher for two years with both positions being here in Charlotte. I'm also an army brat. My father was a Chaplain in the Military which took my family to Berlin the biggest city in Germany. My mother was a business teacher who had to get a teaching position every three to four years.
I find that I relate to middle school kids, because I had a hard time growing up, and finding myself at that age, especially in a city that considers you an adult at a very early age. Thank you so much for welcoming me to Quail hollow and I look forward in helping to make a difference along with the other staff members who already have made a difference, and who are continuing to make a difference in our students lives.
