Hi! My name is Callie Long and this is my 5th year at Bryan Road. I taught 2nd grade for three years before moving up to 5th where my heart belongs. I was born and raised in Wilmington, NC and relocated to Raleigh after graduating. I attended Appalachian State University and received a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, as well as a Master of Arts in Reading Education. I also hold a Reading Specialist certification. 

I strive to create a classroom culture that celebrates individuality, embraces making mistakes, and welcomes challenges. We laugh, we smile, we cry, and we always support each other. I believe that every student should be held to a high standard and pushed to reach their potential. Future leaders and world changers walk into my classroom every day and getting to teach them is a gift I cherish. 

When I'm not at school you can find me hanging out with my boyfriend Cole and our dog Crew. We are currently obsessed with our 1-year-old nephew, Tucker, and taking him on all kinds of adventures. I also enjoy reading, binging new tv shows, and spending time with our friends.

I'm so excited for another wonderful year at Bryan Road!
