Corbette Russell: Biography and Class Description
BIOGRAPHY
I was fortunate to grow up in East Durham, a town full of culture and tradition. It is the place that was once known for having Shamrocks painted down the road. As a young adult I decided I wanted to make my home here, with my husband who
was born in Ireland. We have been married for 17 years and are raising our three boys with a sense of pride in their heritage. I began my education at the Durham Elementary School, where I eventually obtained my first teaching position. After two years, I then moved to the Cairo-Durham Middle School where I have been a special education teacher for the past 17 years. My passion is to enrich children’s lives, to allow each child to reach their potential, meet their goals and achieve their dreams.
