She graduated with a diploma from Georgia State College for Women in 1924. In 1923 and 1924, she did her practice teaching at GSCW and she continued her teaching experience by working at a night school in Washington, DC in 1925. She finished her bachelors degree from GCSW in 1930. In 1936, she taught summer school at Mercer University. In the same year, McCullar and her husband started a law practice together, McCullar and McCullar. From 1937 to 1938, she was an instructor of English and History at Peabody School. After the death of her husband in 1942, McCullar became an associate professor at GSCW. From 1943 to 1946, she was an associate professor of English and Journalism, Director of Public Relations, Speaker's Service, and Editor of the GSCW Alumnae Journal. During this time, McCullar was also the editor of the Milledgeville Times. In 1944, she received an MA from Mercer University. From 1949 to 1950, she did doctoral work at Columbia University. In 1951, McCullar became the Information Director for the Georgia State Department of Education, a position she held until her retirement in 1966. In the 1960s, McCullar became a freelance writer for the Atlanta Journal with columns entitled "This Is Your Georgia" and "Georgia Notebook" and series entitled, "How to Make Better Grades in School," "I Wander and I Wonder," and "Tales Out of School." McCullar had additional articles published in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution Sunday Magazine, Christian Science Monitor, McCalls, Coronet, Farm Journal, and New York Times Magazine. She also moderated a weekly television show entitled "The Georgia School Story." Her most notable work, This is Your Georgia, was published in 1967. It became the book used by students all across Georgia for several subsequent decades. After her retirement from education, McCullar gave tours and lectures on the Georgia Capitol Building starting in 1972. She wrote a guidebook to accompany her experience called Georgia and its Gold-Domed Capitol. McCullar died on May 31, 1975 in Decatur, Georgia.
