Greenfield Middle School

My name is Haley Jett! I am a former 2021 graduate of McClain High School. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Drayden Jett. We live in Greenfield with our two dogs, Hazel and Molly. This year, I will be a personal aide in the sixth grade. I’m very excited for what this school year has to bring!

Hello, Tiger Nation! I’m Caden Wisecup, and I’m the new Intervention Specialist for the 8th grade! I graduated from McClain High School in 2014 and received my Bachelor’s from Bowling Green State University (Talons up!). After college, I lived and worked briefly in the Grand Canyon National Park, then returned to Ohio, and spent a few years living in Columbus. My journey back home began this past year where I started as a substitute teacher in the district, ending the school year as a long term sub for 8th grade math. I am also the head coach for the MHS eSports team. My interests are all over the place, but I most enjoy reading, playing Dungeons & Dragons with my friends, attending concerts and music festivals, drinking lots of coffee, and spending quality time with my partner Madi, her son Jaxx, and my three furballs at home. Most importantly, I love seeing students succeed in the classroom. No matter how big or small the accomplishments may be, they’re all wins! I can’t express how excited I am to get back into the classroom with the students and help in any way I can to see each and every one of them shine!

Our district is excited to announce this new safety protocol for our buildings. We appreciate your support and understanding as we implement this new system. Together we can work to keep our students safe! 💜💛 #legacyofleadership #mcclaintigers

My name is Evan McGlone. I graduated from McClain High School in 2014. Since 2021, I have been an assistant varsity football coach.

I am excited to be involved in the school system and assist kids both in the classroom and on the football field. Go Tigers!

My name is Mindy Cobb. I live in Wilmington, Ohio with my husband Larry. We have two adult children, Caleb (23) and Landan (20). We also have two goldendoodles, Tucker and Ty, that are just like our children. I am new to the middle school this year, but not new to the district. I worked at Greenfield Elementary for 14 years. I am transferring from the elementary library to the middle school library. I will miss my elementary family, but I’m also very excited to see familiar faces and build new relationships in the middle school.

Hello, fellow Tigers! My name Is Payton Smith. I am your new seventh grade math teacher! I am a Greenfield native looking to give back to this wonderful community that helped shape me into who I am today. I am going into my second year of teaching. I started my teaching journey at Rainsboro Elementary. I remember my days in Greenfield Middle School, and am so excited to be a part of the students' experiences! This is also my first year as the assistant cross country coach. Being my first ever coaching job, the athletes and I are learning together as we go. It’s been a great experience so far, and I love watching the athletes grow! When I am not teaching or coaching, I enjoy traveling to new places and soaking up the sun. After work, you can find me snuggled up with my cats watching movies. I am proud to be a Tiger and can’t wait to see what this year has in store!

Hi, I am Shelby Guthrie, your new middle school agriculture program teacher and McClain FFA Advisor. I attended Wilmington College for Agriculture Education, and I am now working on my Master’s in Biology at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. For my first four years of teaching, I was blessed to be an educator at Global Impact STEM Academy in Springfield, Ohio. I taught a variety of agricultural and science courses and was a FFA advisor for the Global Impact FFA Chapter. The experiences in those places were unforgettable. I’m excited to bring everything I learned to the community I grew up in and to a FFA Chapter I hold close to my heart, as it helped instill a passion for agriculture. Whether you are a student in my classroom, a staff member in the building or district, a community member, or Tiger supporter, I cannot wait to GROW this community with you all! Feel free to check out my educator Instagram and Facebook account (@miss_agriculture_science) for updates in and outside of the classroom.

My name is DesaRae Stockdale, a new sixth grade English teacher at GMS. For the 2022-2023 school year, I was a substitute teacher for various schools in Ross County and loved every minute of it. Duing this time, I started looking for a permanent school to call home. I also own Greener Pastures: Plant Boutique and Apothecary where I sell all things beautiful. So if you’ve shopped with me before, we may have already met. I have two children, Porter(nine years old) and Poppy (five years old). They go to Adena and keep me very busy with all of their activities. I’ve also been married to my husband, Lee, for 12 years. I enjoy traveling and visiting new places. Teaching is something I’ve always wanted to do, but the journey for me took a little longer to get here. I’m so excited to be given the opportunity to be a Tiger and can’t wait to see what the future holds. This is going to be a great school year!

Paige Basford lives in Leesburg with her husband and two cats. She spent the last six years teaching 9th and 10th grade ELA at Western High School. She is excited to start her teaching journey at Greenfield Middle School this year as a 6th-grade ELA teacher.

My name is Jeremey Andrews, and I am thrilled to be returning to Greenfield as Assistant Principal at GMS! This will be my 22nd year in education. Despite growing up in the Columbus area (graduating from Gahanna-Lincoln and THE Ohio State University), I spent my first five years teaching out of state in Florida and Tennessee. Upon returning to Ohio, I worked at Wilmington, McClain and Laurel Oaks. The five years I spent at McClain were amazing, which is why I am so excited to be coming back to the district! Over the years, I have coached football, lacrosse, track, baseball, and basketball. I had an opportunity to coach in a state championship football game in Florida and coach multiple Division I athletes, including three future NFL players. My family and I have lived in Wilmington since 2007. My wife of nearly 21 years (Kristin) is a nurse at the Boyd Cancer Center in Wilmington. I have two children: Josh (age 20) is a junior at Wright State studying engineering; Emily (age 15) is entering her sophomore year at Wilmington High School. She is involved in band, theater and choir. I am beyond excited for the opportunity to once again serve the Greenfield community!

Hi, Tiger Nation! I am Whitney Vanzant, better known as "Miss Whitney" here in town, and I am your new middle school secretary. I grew up in Virginia Beach, VA. and moved to Greenfield in 2005. I graduated from McClain High School in 2007. I have danced the majority of my life. Throughout my life, I have danced for various companies and competitions all over the country including the Moscow Ballet, Walt Disney Dance Days, and The Peach Bowl halftime performances. In 2007 I became a National Champion for Showstopper Dance. In 2012, I opened Modern Movement Dance Co. My team has won many national titles, and I have received multiple awards for choreography. Along with my studio, I have choreographed for the McClain High School Show Choir and musicals for the past seven years. When I am not dancing, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Tanner, and my three kids, Jax, Marley, and River. I love to cook, and I love to shop. My favorite thing is to travel and experience new adventures with my family. Now that my babies and my business are growing and need me less, I decided to take a chance. I absolutely love the Greenfield community and this school, and I cannot wait to be a part of the GMS family!

Our phone lines are back up and working today. We apologize for the inconvenience yesterday! #legacyofleadership #mcclaintigers
