Hi!  My name is Trish Pacheco and I will be teaching ESL here at Craig Middle School this year.  I am starting my 13 year as an educator with this being my 2nd year in Abilene ISD.  I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems and Masters of Education in Reading which led to my getting certified as a Reading Specialist (EC-12) in 2021.  I have worked as an instructional coach, reading interventionist, and general education teacher both in secondary and elementary classrooms.  I have been married for 22 years and have two grown children who both live here in Abilene.  My son recently got married to our sweet daughter in law, Katie (who works for Communities in Schools @ Clyde ISD), and he has his own videography business "Flights & Sights Media" where he is a certified drone pilot and videos real estate properties among many other events. My daughter is finishing up her certification as an EMT with a goal of becoming a flight paramedic in the future.  We are super proud of both of them and all they are doing.  I look forward to a great year at Craig.  If you need to contact me please send me an e-mail and I will get back to you soon.
