My name is Melissa (Missy) Mackey and this will be my 35th year of teaching and my 23rd year at New Albany. I am a member of the Teaching & Learning Team as an Academic Intervention Teacher for reading and math. I have taught 2nd, 4th, and 6gth grades. I am a former Nationally Board Certified Teacher and Master Teacher in the state of Ohio. I have a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Assessment. I believe that each child has a right to feel safe and secure in their classroom and to have a teacher who is committed to do their very best to meet their social, emotional, and educational needs.

My husband and I grew up in central Ohio, and have been married for 35 years. Dave has his own painting business, Handiwork. We have two adult daughters. Katie is an Educational Consultant in Austin, Texas, where she lives with her husband and two fur babies. Abby & her husband live in Bogata, Columbia, where she is a Foreign Service Officer for the United States Department of Agriculture at the US Embassy.

I am part of the district’s student travel program, Education First (EF). This past summer, I traveled with a group of students to Belize. I enjoy walking and hiking with my 2 dogs, Allie & Daisy, taking in the outdoors, playing volleyball and pickleball, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

It is my honor to be part of the New Albany Intermediate School. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about student travel or educational concerns. I look forward to an exciting year.
