About The Teacher

This is my 14th year teaching at St. Ferdinand School.  I have always been a 
junior high teacher here at St. Ferdinand with a 7th grade homeroom.  For the 
past 4 years I have also been the assistant principal. I am currently working 
on my masters degree at Dominican University for Leadership and to gain my 
type 75 certificate in order to become a principal.  I have enjoyed my career 
here with all of the students and parents and greatly enjoy it when former 
students stop by and fill me in on what is happening in their lives.

Mission For The Class

The course work for my classes includes United States history, government and 
constitution, economic trends, and cultural climates.  In addition, I enable 
my students to grow independently to explore the ramifications of historical 
decisions in today's world.  Responsibility for one's own decisions and 
actions are always expected and a conscious effort towards a mature attitude 
is emphasized.  Being both knowledgable about the content area and on 
becoming a good citizen for the global community is my mission for all of my 
students.
