Nancy Hay
5th Grade Team
Hello! I'm Ms. Nancy Hay, and I'm excited to be teaching 5th Grade Reading at The Schools of McKeel Academy for the 2026–2027 school year.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management with a minor in Finance from Warner University and hold Florida certifications in Elementary Education, Reading, and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). I also have the privilege of serving as the 5th Grade Academic Team Coach.
I have been part of the TSMA family since 2014 and have been teaching since 2004. I believe every child can succeed when they feel encouraged, supported, and challenged. My goal is to create a positive classroom where students develop a love of reading, grow in confidence, and enjoy learning every day.
I look forward to partnering with families to make this a wonderful year of learning and growth!
