Meet the Teachers

Melissa McCary

I have been teaching at Rasor Elementary, since 2004. I have taught special education and first grade. Out of all those years, the majority of my time has been in second grade, which I absolutely love this age. I am a product of the Plano ISD, as I started at the very beginning of any child’s life in Kindergarten. I then graduated from Plano East Senior High. After finishing high school I then went onto Stephen F. Austin State University and graduated in December of 2002 with my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I am married to an amazing man named Mike for 18 years and we have two incredible children. Brandon, who will be a Junior at Plano East and Connor will be in 7th grade at Murphy Middle. As well, as those two crazy boys, I also have a Yorkie named Daisy and a Tabby cat named Macie.

Kim Kirby Hello, I am Allison Sawyer. I grew up in Houston, Texas. As many proper native Houstonians, my favorite basketball team will forever be the Rockets no matter how poorly they play. I came to Dallas when I had the amazing opportunity to study at the University of Texas at Dallas. I really have enjoyed living in Dallas with my wonderful hubby (Kyle) and our two fur babies (Bentley and Maya) for the past 6 years. I have had the blessing of being able to teach Kindergarten, Second, and Third Grade. I absolutely think being able to teach my leaders is the bee's knees and have enjoyed getting to know all the learners that have passed through my classroom door. When I am teaching you can always find me with my favorite teaching tool coffee or a big smile on my face. I cannot wait to meet all y’alls little learners and I am looking forward to have another rock solid year!
