She grew up near Murry, but moved to Upstate New York for college. She ended up staying in the area for 8 years teaching second and third grade but missed being by her family. Growing homesick and longing to return to the peace and quiet of her childhood town, she submitted an application to MSD (Murry School District) in early spring. She was surprised to hear such a quick response, but learned that MSD’s student population had grown by more than 35 % during the last 8 years due to a large corporation building its headquarters on the outskirts of the town. Murry’s school principal was eager to hire as many exceptional candidates as possible and would love to have Ms. Calloway join the school staff. Ms. Calloway resigned from her position in Upstate New York and shortly thereafter, packed and moved. She was so excited to be teaching in her hometown.
