Shelly Cloninger- Media Specialist

I am a proud Buncombe County Schools alumni. I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2002.  I taught first and second grades for about nine years.  During that time, I earned my National Board Certification in Early Childhood Literacy.  After starting a family, I took some time off to be home with my two children.  I also worked on my Masters degree in Library Science from Appalachian State during that time.  

When I'm not at school, you might find me outside with my family and two dogs; Carl and Ruby.  I also enjoy baking (and taste testing), catching a beautiful sunset and of course reading a good book! 

 I am excited to have the opportunity to partner with the staff, children, and families in the North Buncombe district...together we make a difference.
