Cherylynn O'Melia has been teaching for 31 years and is in her sixth year at Casady School teaching seventh grade English, and she is Middle Division English Department Chair. Ms. O'Melia earned her degree in elementary education from Anderson University, then her Master's in Administration from William Woods University. On top of her degrees, Ms. O'Melia holds multiple Oklahoma teaching credentials and certifications.
Ms. O'Melia is also Middle Division's Coordinator for Service Learning and organizes service learning opportunities and experiences for Middle Division students throughout the school year.
Each year, Ms. O'Melia attends the National Service Learning Conference where she meets with similarly service-minded educators to develop cross-curricular projects to incorporate service into her students' literature and writing studies.
"I am passionate about cross-curricular teaching and integrating the service-learning component," Ms. O'Melia said. "Cross-curricular teaching makes learning relevant for the students and empowers them to set lifelong learning and service goals."
Ms. O'Melia is a warm and inviting presence for every student who enters her classroom. Her greatest hope is that students leave Middle Division with an appreciation and desire for a service-filled life.
