My name is Mary McCurley. I am a 2nd grade teacher at Shady Shores Elementary. I have been a teacher since 2010. I attended the University of North Texas (UNT) where I received my Bachelors of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. I have certifications in EC-4 generalist, 4-8 generalist, and English as a Second Language (ESL). Before joining Lake Dallas ISD in 2019, I worked at a charter school and for Carrollton Farmers Branch Independent School District.  I am also a Lake Dallas Alumni. I am looking forward to a fun and exciting year!
