Calloway's Corner
Teachers a school year is a journey that takes many different turns. One of the most exciting aspects of being an administrator is that each day is different. The cycle of the school year begins with anticipation, excitement, and energy. A school year has a personality of its own so let’s enjoy this beginning, and move toward the middle of the school year, and push forward as a faculty to continually seek different solution for our students.
