This is a website devoted to the goings-on in Room 217, Ms. Barnes' English classroom at Chi Hi. For up to date information about class plans and materials, please see our Canvas page.

I have been teaching English at Chippewa Falls Senior High School since 2002. Working at Chi-Hi has been a wonderful journey. We have a fantastic staff and student body here, and I consider myself really lucky to get to work with so many great people.

I have a BA in Theater from Loyola University of Chicago, an MA in English from UW-Eau Claire, and my certification to teach English from UWEC as well. My interests include seeing (and sometimes participating in) live theater and music, reading, cooking, traveling, running and cycling. I live in Eau Claire with my husband, children, a dog, a cat and a couple of chickens.
