A little about Mrs. Barkley!
My name is Mrs. Barkley, and I am a sixth grade math and science teacher at AIS East! This is my fourth year as a teacher, but my first year here at Avon!
I was raised in Gilman and attended Iroquois West throughout my elementary and high school years. I played volleyball and basketball, and was a member of many organizations including: Student Council, National Honor Society, Spanish Club, and Raider Rowdies. In 2010 I graduated from Iroquois West High School and moved to Charleston, Illinois to pursue my dreams of becoming a teacher. I graduated in 2014 from Eastern Illinois University with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education with Middle Level endorsements in math and science. After graduating, I worked at Prairie Central Upper Elementary for three years. On June 24, 2017 Michael and I said "I do!" at Willow Harbor Vineyard in Three Oaks, Michigan. Shortly after our wedding we moved to Avon! I am very excited to start teaching at Avon Intermediate School East and be a part of the Oriole community!
Outside of school I love spending time with my wonderful family and yellow lab, Woodson. I have three older step-siblings, Andrea, Kaleb, and Kolbi, a younger brother, Austin, and a younger sister, Natalie. I am also a proud Auntie of the cutest nephew and nieces, Lincoln, Emmy, and Ava! I absolutely love spending time with my family! Keep scrolling to see my season favorites!!
