Mr. William Justice
Behavior Specialist
As a former BCBA (fancy name for a behavior analyst) who deeply loves his old elementary school, Idlewild, I am happy to be back serving students. After 15 years of Special Education work, I am thrilled to to be given the opportunity to maintain the emotional health of the students and support their personal adventures in education!

Ms. Anna-Carol Gabriel
Speech and Language Pathologist
My name is Anna-Carol Gabriel and I am the Speech-Language Pathologist for our Eagles!
This is my tenth year in the school setting and my fourth year here at Idlewild. I am a Memphis Tigers fan (#GTG), a Grizzlies fanatic (#GNG), and a proud Midtowner! I love growing our family-currently consisting of my husband, our 3 cats, 2 dogs, a 2-year-old, and one more on the way- and working in our wonderful neighborhood here in Central Gardens. I am your resource for all things articulation, language, voice, and stuttering. You can reach me at gabrielac_ec@scsk12.org if you have any questions or concerns for your student!

Ms. Raelyn Childres
Psychologist
Hello! My name is Raelyn Childres, and I am a licensed school psychologist in the state of Tennessee. Yes, my last name is spelled with one "S." It's a funny story, and I'll tell you about it if you ask! I'm a native Memphian, but don't ask me for directions 😉!
My alma maters include The University of Tennessee at Martin where I graduated summa cum laude from the General Psychology program and The University of Memphis where I got my M.A. In School Psychology and my Ed.S. in Education. I've completed practicum experiences in the Collierville and in DeSoto County school districts, and I interned with MSCS before being hired for a full-term position in 2023.
I love working with the students and families at Idlewild, and I'm glad to be a part of the team! Go Eagles!
