Christina Grace, Principal

Dear CES Families,

I am so excited to be the Callaway Elementary School Principal! I have been in education for 23 years. I began my teaching career at Berta Weathersbee Elementary School as a Pre-K teacher. During the nine years at Berta, I taught students in every grade level except 4th grade. Then, I transferred to Long Cane Middle School where I  spent the next four years. At Long Cane, I taught 7th grade Life Science, 7th grade Math, 8th grade Math, and coached cheerleading. In August of 2009, I was hired as the Instructional Specialist at Callaway Elementary School and served in that capacity for seven years. In June of 2016, I was named Rosemont Elementary School principal. This year I was transferred back to Callaway Elementary School as Principal. I am extremely happy to be back at CES and am excited about the great things that are happening. I want the students at CES to DREAM BIG and set goals along the way so they can accomplish great things this school year. Please feel free to contact me at CES (706-845-2059) or by email at gracecw@troup.org.
