My name is Cassandra Pressley, and I have been teaching third grade at Crawford County Elementary School 2019. Before teaching here in Georgia, I have taught for 14 years in Miami in grades from second to sixth grade. While in Miami I completed my schooling and proudly graduated from Barry University and Saint Thomas University in Miami, Florida. 

I am an accomplished and energetic educator with a solid history of increasing overall student achievement and test scores. Currently holding a Bachelor's degree in Business Education, a Master's degree in Special Education/ focus in Reading, and a Specialist degree in Education Leadership with Reading, ESOL, Teacher Leader, and Teacher Support and Coaching endorsements.  

My passion and goals are teaching and I believe that all children can learn and will become successful individuals in life. 

My beliefs are best said by Maya Angelou. 

"I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.”
