My name is Tosha Oliver, and I am humbled and honored to serve as the lead learner and Principal at Sandy Creek High School! I began my journey in education with the Dekalb County School System, where I served as an AP English teacher and Department Chair for nine years. I was promoted to the role of Assistant Principal with Fulton County Schools, where I served as an instructional leader and culture builder for nine years. I have earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Carolina, a Master of Arts in Teaching from Clark Atlanta University, and a Specialist in Educational Leadership from the University of West Georgia. My father is a CMSGT (Ret.) in the United States Air Force and proudly served our country for 25 years, and my mother worked for the Fayette County School System for five years before she retired. Additionally, I am a proud mother of two children, Ava and Blake. Our family has enjoyed being part of the Fairburn, GA, community for the last 14 years, where we spend much of our free time on our local softball and baseball fields.

I am extremely excited to begin this new chapter with you and cannot wait to meet the entire Sandy Creek community. My passion for literacy and reading will serve our community well as we partner together to draw out intellectual curiosity within our students and allow them to cultivate their passions in a variety of arenas within our school and the surrounding community. I am committed to ensuring that all students at Sandy Creek High School become globally competitive and are recognized on a variety of platforms for all of the hard work they produce. Your partnership and commitment to excellence will be critical to the success of all our students!

ELA/Social Studies/ESOL/AP Coordinator

My name is David High. I bring a mix of experience from the classroom, athletic fields, and school programs. I’ve spent 14 years in high school education, teaching a variety of social studies courses, including gifted and advanced placement courses. Outside the classroom, I’ve enjoyed being part of student life—founding and coaching the GHSA Esports program, and coaching football, girls lacrosse, volleyball, and the academic team. I also ran the school’s Driver’s Education program, helping keep everything organized and running smoothly for families and students. Before I started teaching, I worked as a School Resource Officer with the Peachtree City Police Department, focusing on school safety and leading community programs like the Junior Police Academy. I also served in the U.S. Army as an Operations Sergeant in the 3rd U.S. Infantry “The Old Guard.” I am a graduate of McIntosh High School and have lived in Fayette County for the majority of my life. I earned both my bachelor’s degree in Political Science and my master’s in the Art of Teaching from the University of West Georgia. Across all these roles, I’ve learned the value of teamwork, staying calm under pressure, and building strong connections with students, families, and colleagues.

I’m excited to step into the role of Assistant Principal and Registrar at Sandy Creek High School and look forward to supporting the school community while continuing to grow as an educator and leader.
