Hello everyone! My name is Soctt Bates and I am entering my fifteenth year of teaching.  I look forward to year two as a part of the OCHS staff and social studies department.  I also serve as the head girls' coach for the varsity soccer team.  I spent tweleve years at Apalachee High School in Barrow County, where I served as a social studies teacher and head girls' varsity soccer coach.  I will be teaching Economics and U.S. History this upcoming school year.  I am married to Lindsey Bates, who is a kindergarten teacher at Colham Ferry Elementary.  We have three crazy but amazing daughters.  We love spending time together as a family, and we love being a part of the Warrior family!
