Today we are excited to spotlight Cory Olson, our Business teacher at Gatewood!
Mr. Olson has been part of the Gatewood family for six years and teaches Economics, Statistics, and Marketing. He loves helping juniors and seniors prepare for life after graduation by teaching them about the “blind spots” they may encounter in college or the business world.
Mr. Olson attended both the University of Georgia and Georgia State University, earning his degree in Economics.
Outside of school, he enjoys golfing, hunting, fishing, trivia, and cheering on the Braves and UGA football.
He and his wife, Erin, have three children Ashley, Chase, and Connor, who graduated from Gatewood in 2020.
One fun fact about Mr. Olson is that he has scuba dived on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia!
When asked what he loves most about Gatewood, he shared that it’s the family atmosphere and how students become “like your kids for a short period of time.”
One memorable classroom moment he shared involved the Class of 2026 boys throwing a sandwich in class which quickly turned into parking lot sprints! He says he never had another object thrown in class again after that.
We are thankful for the wisdom, humor, and real-world knowledge Mr. Olson brings to Gatewood each day! 💚💛🐊
