Mr. Nathan Stack - Math/Science (far left)

I grew up in a small town thirty minutes outside of Pittsburgh, PA.  After graduating college at Clarion University in PA, I came down in January 2001 to North Carolina to teach sixth grade.  In 2003, I transferred to elementary school, teaching fifth grade, and have taught there ever since.  This will be my sixth-year teaching at Baucom Elementary.  Although I have taught all subjects in fifth grade, I have targeted my professional learning around teaching math and science.  I earned my master’s degree in K-9 mathematics at ECU a few years ago and have presented locally and nationally at elementary science teacher conferences in multiple states.  Being originally from Pittsburgh, I am a huge Steelers’ and Penguins’ fan.  On my days off, I enjoy hiking with my dog, Dash.  I am looking forward to a GREAT school year in 2022-2023!  Go Aviators!

Ms. Casey Byrne - Reading/Social Studies (2nd over)

This is my 4th year teaching at Baucom and my 12th year teaching ELA in Wake County. I also spent 4 years teaching school in Ireland! I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and am a huge Steeler fan, just like Mr. Stack! I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Villanova University and a Master’s degree in Elementary Education from DePaul University. I have a 14 year old daughter and a crazy lab mix named Charlie. :) Our favorite place to be is the beach! We enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors, paddle boarding, and watching sports. I am looking forward to getting to know my students and their families this year and to a fun, successful school year at Baucom!

Ms. Chrissy Minnick - Math/Science (3rd over)

I am from a small town in Maryland and am a huge fan of anything Maryland (go terps).  This is my 10th year teaching in North Carolina and my 7th year teaching fifth grade at Baucom.  I love spending time with my German Shepherd, Zeus, and finding all the awesome mountains to hike in the cooler seasons.  I am so thankful to continue with another great year at Baucom.  #MINNICKNATION
