My name is Terry Callaway and I am the school counselor for McClendon Elementary.  This is my eleventh year in education and my first year as a CISD Brave!  I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas A & M - Commerce, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude.  I also have a Master's Degree in School Counseling from Lamar University.  My certifications include School Counselor, Special Education, ESL, and Generalist Pk-6.  In college, I was a member of Alhpa Chi and Phi Theta Cappa.  I believe in being a life long learner and strive to teach that to my students as well.  

In addition to being the school counselor, I also work on 504 plans, SST, and serve as the LPAC Facilitator for our campus.  

I have been happily married for twenty-two years to my best friend!  Our family is unique in that we have five young adults that live with us, three of them being our sons.  In my spare time, I love to read and work in my yard.  However spending time with my family is by far, my most favorite thing to do!  

I am excited to be at McClendon Elementary and look forward to working with the amazing students here!   My personal belief is that building relationships with students is the key to their success both in and out of the classroom.  "If you have a child's heart...
