My name is Casey Gaines and I am thrilled to be a part of the Heritage family, as one of your school counselors! 

I received my Early Childhood Education degree from Auburn University in 2014. Once I graduated, I began my teaching career in a 2nd grade classroom. After three years in 2nd grade, I developed a passion for teaching the foundational skills and moved into a Kindergarten position. While in the classroom, I went back to school to obtain my Master’s Degree in School Counseling from The University of West Alabama. I taught 2nd grade for three years and Kindergarten for 4 years before transitioning into the role of school counselor. 

As a product of Madison City, it is an honor to have the opportunity to teach your child in the same school system that instilled in me a love for learning, and to be able to serve the faculty, students, and families of the Heritage community. 

I am the youngest of three children and I am a proud Aunt of two nephews and two nieces.  In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors, spending time with my family and friends, traveling to new places, and being around any type of water! I am an Auburn Tiger...WAR EAGLE!
