I graduated from the University of Iowa with a bachelor’s in history, and Drake University with a master’s in teaching. I have taught in Des Moines for 14 years and am excited to work with students at Hanawalt.

My name is Callie Deblon and I have been at Hanawalt since 2019. I started in DMPS in 2018. I love the community that Hanawalt has, and I feel very lucky to be here. I am currently in the role of being a reading and math interventionist. Before that I taught 2nd grade for several years. I went to Simpson College–go Storm! I live in Des Moines with my husband and Golden Retriever, Kobe. I am excited to make this the best year yet!

Shelley is excited to be moving to academic interventionist. She grew up in West Des Moines and obtained her Business Degree from William Penn and later received her Elementary Education Degree from UNI with an endorsement in reading. In her free time she enjoys being outside, reading a good book or spending time with her son and dog.
