I won the lottery when I began at Dalton Elementary as the New Office Manager in August 2020. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 36 wonderful years now. My husband James and I have 2 children; ages 34 and 18, and our grandson is 6 years old. We love the outdoors, family and children! Prior to coming to Dalton, I had the privilege to help build a one-of-a-kind "Safe Place Shelter" for children entering into Fostercare for the 1st time. My heart is to help shape and grow children into adults full of value and dreams to be all they can be! Children FILL my heart bucket, and I count it all joy to spend my days loving the children that call Dalton Elementary home!

Blessings to you and yours, Debra

Hi Families and Friends, I am so excited to be back here at Dalton Elementary as the Registrar/Secretary for the second year. Katie is the most caring and driven wife who makes each day feel like a blessing in itself. Charlie is our beautifully spunky kiddo who pushes us to be better every day.

I am a Retired Master Sergeant from the U.S. Army. I have travelled and been stationed all around the globe. I was a heavy equipment operator and mechanic by trade. Once promoted to Staff Sergeant, I became an Instructor for Sergeant School. I taught leadership and maintenance operations for 10 years. My last position was the Course Manager for a team leader course developed for executive-level leadership teams. Our team of 5 created the course and travelled around the world to develop better cohesion within leadership.

Love to hike, fish, hunt, ride motorcycles, and anything in nature.

My name is Amber Johansen and I am beyond excited to be a part of this incredible team here at Dalton
Elementary. I have been married to my best friend Jason for 12 years. We have 2 children, Parker 16, a
Junior at CHS and Payton 9, who is a 4 th grader here at Dalton along with 2 fur babies Rylee and Marlee. I
have worked in the medical field, primarily the Operating Room for 25 years and between then and
now, I have been a Health Assistant for an Elementary School and a bookkeeper for a number of start-up
companies. I consider myself a Jill of all trades. I am very involved volunteering at One Place Church and
on my off time, surprisingly enough, I am homebody who’s love language is cooking and baking. It is a
true joy coming to work and I love being able to love on the kids every day.
