Please help us in welcoming back Ms. Emily Young!
Hey, hey Chaffin…I’m BACK! My name is Emily Young and I am SO excited to return to Chaffin and the Chaffin Science Department as one of your 8th Grade Science teachers after serving as a district administrator for the past three years at Sunnymede Elementary. With 23 years of experience in education, I am thrilled to bring my passion for student growth and success back to the classroom and support these young adults in their pursuit of academic excellence! My husband John and I have three children, Ellie, Mason, and Cooper. As a family we enjoy traveling, spending time at the lake, going to MLB games as often as possible, and visiting as many amusement parks as we can. I look forward to serving the students and families of Chaffin Middle School!

Incredible loss for our school and district. Ms. Johnston served at Chaffin for over 35 years and impacted the lives of literally thousands. She will truly be missed.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Ms. Alica Johnston, a dedicated and beloved Child Nutrition Manager who served the students and staff of Chaffin Middle School for more than 30 years. Through her commitment, kindness, and care, she helped create a welcoming environment where generations of students were nourished and supported each day. May Ms. Alica Johnston rest in peace, and may her memory forever be a blessing.
