My name is Mrs. Callaghan and I have taught Special Education for 26 years in Johnston County. I received my degree in regular education and a masters in special education from FSU.  I became a teacher for many reasons, but mostly because I enjoy helping students learn and watching them grow and realize that learning can be fun. I have a husband and two very spoiled dogs. My children are all grown and I have three adorable grandchildren all under one.  They have taught me a lot about patience and grace over the years. I love a challenge, and I met a personal challenge recently, as I was able to learn to ride a segway in the Bahamas. At first I was afraid that I was going to topple right over. Then, as I learned to balance and go forward, I gained confidence. We rode through the city streets slowly at first, and then the instructor pulled the pin out and we were able to move fast. I learned that if I relaxed and looked ahead, I could go anywhere I wanted. 

 Students: Today is a day where anything and everything seems possible. I am so happy to be your teacher! It is my hope that as you learn and concentrate on skills, assignments, and tests, that I will grace you with potential and promise!

Parents: Please email with any questions and I will try to get back to you quickly. Have a great year!
