Name: Mrs. Elizabeth Pressley
Mini Biography: I can't wait to get to know you! I have always been excited about the world around us. I graduated from UNC -Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology. I obtained my teaching certification at Averett University and began teaching science at Bartlett Yancey High School in 1988. Because I was also interested in Chemistry and Physics, I have many graduate credit hours in those fields as well. I taught there for 30 years in various subjects, but mostly Biology, Physics and Chemistry as well as AP Biology. I became certified in gifted education and in 2011 obtained my much sought-after National Board certification in adolescent young adulthood science and recertified in 2022. I joined the Galileo Magnet High School faculty in 2018. Here I teach Genetics, and Honors Biology and Honors Chemistry. I am married and have one surviving son.
