My name is Kelly Shackelford Collum. I am a native to the area. I grew up in Davidson and went to Davidson Elementary. I then went on to Alexander and North Meck. After high school I went to college in Charlotte at Queens University. I graduated in 2000 with a BA in Elementary Education and Math. I minored in Art History. I earned my National Boards certification in 2006.
After graduation I worked at Huntersville Elementary and then began working at Third Creek Elementary in the fall of 2000. I taught at TCE in Statesville as a 4th grade teacher until 2006 when I came to Bailey Middle School. Since Bailey opened I have been a Honors/Standard Plus Math teacher. Math is my favorite subject to teach and I am so glad that I get to teach it every day ALL day!
I am married to Travis Collum. We have two wonderful boys named Jackson (14) and Grant (10 in November). When I am not teaching math I like to spend time with my family. I also like to read, exercise, go shopping and watch movies. Whenever I can I love to go to the beach. It is one of my favorite places.I have also taken up running as a hobby. I like to run half marathons and have run my 1st and ONLY marathon.
