Mrs. McCallister ~ 6th grade ~ Rydal East

Welcome to 6th grade! I am very excited to start the school year with you. I have been teaching in Abington School District for 23 years. I spent the first 9 years of my career teaching and coaching at Abington Senior High School and the past 14 years teaching 6th grade at Rydal Elementary School. I am also a 1982 graduate of ASD and a current resident. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have been married for 23 years and have 2 daughters. Casey is 21 and Kelly is 18. Both girls graduated from Abington Senior High School and both now attend Lehigh University (easy traveling for me!) We vacation at the beach in summer with our Bernese Mountain Dog, Boomer!
