OUTDOOR ED IS COOL!!!

I graduated Magna Cum Lauda from Bradley University with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I am certified in (K-9)science and language arts. In "No Child Left Behind" speak, I am highly qualified in those subjects. In addition, I am certified in Social Studies.

I am excited and proud to be part of Dunlap District 323.  I was hired as the 6B science/social studies teacher at Dunlap Middle School in the summer of 2006. This page was created for our outstanding students to use as a supplemental resource for our in class activities.

I began my teaching career at Broadmoor Jr. High School in Pekin IL. During that time I  taught both 7th and 8th grade science.

 

I also had the honor of coaching the 7th grade boys basketball teams for the 1999-2002 seasons, which included the privelage of coaching a State Championship team and several Division I prospects. Thanks for the opportunity Coach Vandeschraaf. It was a great experience.

 

I have two children: Brody in 6th grade and Hunter in 3rd. Both of my boys go to the same school that I went to as a child:

Princeville Grade School

I continue to be involved with the Princeville schools serving as a board member of

The mission of PRIDE is to enhance the educational process for Princeville students. This is done by acquiring, investing, and distributing resources for programs and projects which would otherwise not be available to the youth of Princeville.

My interests include: playing with my kids, hunting, fishing, and cooking.
