Who We Are
My name is Matt McCarthy and this is my third year at New Prospect Elementary! I have been very excited for the opportunity to teach Physical Education at such an amazing school! In 2015, I switched from my previous teaching position, which was at Haynes Bridge Middle School/Independence high school teaching Adapted Physical Education. This is my fifth year working for Fulton County Schools. I am also the head coach for the softball and baseball programs at Centennial High School.
College: I attended the University of Georgia where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Health and Physical Education. After undergraduate school, I attended Georgia Southern University where I received my Master’s Degree in Kinesiology (PE).
My favorite things: My favorite thing to do is spend time with my wife and both of our families. I really enjoy the outdoors and constantly staying active. I truly enjoy all sports, but I would have to say baseball is my favorite sport.
Suzie Portnoy- Suzie is our para-pro for PE and she is amazing! This will be her fourth year at New Prospect and her seventh year working as a PE para-pro within Fulton County.
