About the Teacher

Mrs. Allison Buckley

About Me:

I was born and raised in Jacksonville, NC.  I attended school in Southwest and graduated from Southwest High School in 1993.

I have been a teacher for 24 years. I started in Pender County in 1999 and then moved HOME, to Onslow County in 2008 and have been with OCS ever since. I have taught grades 2-6, with my favorite (and most taught!) being 6th grade English Language Arts.

I have been married for 16 years and have one son, Liam, who is 15 years old. Our family LOVES to spend time outdoors! We enjoy camping, fishing, swimming, and exploring.  We LOVE animals!  We have 5 chickens, 4 weiner dogs, 4 cats, and a bearded dragon. I also love to take care of stray animals that happen to find their way to our house!

My goal in education is to help EVERY student realize that they are gifted in their own way and then to nurture that gift.
