My name is Casey Burgess. I am very excited to be teaching at Cherryvillle Elementary. I have been a resident of Cherryville my entire life and I am so blessed to get to teach at "home". I am married and have 2 wonderful kids. Landon is in kindergarten and Piper just turned 1! My hands are full, but so is my heart. My two passions are spending time with my family, and teaching!!

I love being here at Cherryville Elementary! This is such a great community and I’m thankful my kids (Eli and Ella) get to live here! I love UNC basketball, Carolina Panthers and spending time with my family! I also have two mini dachshunds named Aladdin and Oliver that I get to spoil in my free time!

I am beginning my 28th year in education. I spent ten of those years as an administrator. I was excited to go back to the classroom where I enjoy finding student needs and growing those needs. I pride myself in working with children who have unique challenges and truly believe that the kids who are assigned to my classroom are there for a reason. Either I need them or they need me but together we will grow!

My husband and I have been married for 13 years and we have two wonderful boys. I have taught in Gaston County for my entire 14 years and I've loved every school where I've had the privilege of working. I'm delighted to be working at Cherryville Elementary, where the staff, students, and faculty form a nurturing environment for learning.

I currently live in Lincoln County with my husband and our golden retriever, Quigley. I am obsessed with Golden Retrievers, Great Pyrenees, cows, and any and all animals. I enjoy road trips, hiking, traveling, whitewater rafting, the mountains, sometimes the beach, and anything related to history.
