My name is McKenzie Mayo. This is my eighth year at Atoka Elementary and I love it here!

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Memphis with a Bachelors Degree in K-5 education as well as K-12 Special Education.

I am married to the best man in the entire world. His name is Kurt and he works in IT/Law Enforcement . We have a Corgi/Jack Russell mix named Jocko. We are happy pet parents and love them like they are our own human kids.

Teaching has been my passion since I was 6 years old. I have never dreamed of doing anything else. I look forward to this year and growing along with your children!
