Hello Bulldogs!  

I’m proud to serve as an Assistant Administrator and the 504 Coordinator at Forsyth Central High School.  I’ve spent many years teaching Biology, Environmental Science, and Chemistry, and have also supported students as a graduation coach, summer school director, and as an assistant administrator, needless to say, I am passionate about helping students find their own path to success.

Originally from Tennessee, I’m a proud graduate of the University of Tennessee (Go Vols!) with my BS in Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology and MS in Secondary Science Education and the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) with my EdS in Secondary Science Education. 

When I’m not at school, I love spending time with family and friends, watching scary movies, and diving into a good mystery novel. My husband is a math professor at the University of North Georgia.  

I’m really excited to be part of the C-House community and to work with such an amazing group of students, staff, and families.  Looking forward to an amazing year!

Jenni Kunz

Assistant Administrator

Hello and welcome to the C-House. After 22 years in education - from teaching AP Literature and AP Research to serving as ELA Department Chair and Student Support Coordinator - I've learned that the magic happens when we create spaces where every student can discover their potential.

My journey has taught me that education is about so much more than academics.  I've seen firsthand how powerful it is when we meet students where they are and help them thrive. I bring both passion and expertise to supporting our school community.  I look forward to a great year!

Go Dawgs!
