Mrs. Mackenzie Blackburn

I am happy to be a part of the H.E. Corley Elementary family! I graduated from Lander University in 2017 with a Bachelors of Science in Special Education. I received my Masters in Autism Spectrum Disorder in the fall of 2020 from Grand Canyon University. For my first two years teaching, I taught elementary Resource with students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade in Greenwood, South Carolina. This will be my seventh year teaching and my fifth year in Lexington-Richland School District 5 as a teacher.  I was a student in this district as I grew up in Chapin and went to Chapin schools from kindergarten all the way through high school. I am very excited to be able to teach and give back to the school district I grew up in! It feels good to be back home and love being a part of H.E. Corley Elementary!

My husband and I had our first baby, Colton, last August. In my free time, I like to spend time with my family, riding horses with my husband, and taking care of our chickens, turkey's and ducks.

Mrs. Jessica Catalano - Assistant

My name is Jessica Catalano and I am super excited to be a part of the H. E. Corley family. I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts and attended Central Connecticut State University. I graduated in 2006 with a Bachelor's of Science in Physical Education and Health. While attending CCSU I was a member of the division 1 soccer and track and field teams. I taught 10th grade Physical Education and Health at Wethersfield High School for 4 years as well as coached soccer and track & field before deciding to stay home with my children. 

I was a nanny for 6 years before my family made the move to South Carolina in December 2020. I have been married to my amazing husband for 11 years and we have 4 children between the 2 of us, ages 10, 11 (who both attend Lex/Rich 5 schools) and 24 and 26. We also have 1 grandson who was born in June.  
In my free time I enjoy taking rides with my family in our Jeep, hanging out in our pool, working on house projects and playing with our 2 boxers. I am looking forward to being back in school and am very excited to begin my new journey at H. E. Corley!!
