English 10 and ILS English
Fall 2022 Semester
Embedded Files
Welcome to English with me, Ms. Holcombe! This is my fifth year at ConVal High School, and it is my 20th year of teaching.
This fall, I am teaching two sections of English 10 and ILS English.
I was born in Washington, DC, and I moved to Milford, NH, when I was eight years old. I graduated from Milford High School (go Spartans!) and The University of New Hampshire (go Wildcats!) with a B.A. and M.A.T. in English Teaching. I have taught in a bunch of places and schools over the last 19 years: Fairfax County, Virginia; Stavanger, Norway; Rome, Italy; Washington, DC. I have also been an ice cream scooper, an antique shop worker, and a nanny. I love to volunteer, and I've done everything from playing bingo at a nursing home to cleaning out flood-ravaged homes after Hurricane Katrina.
In 2017, I had my daughter Louisa, and I moved back to New Hampshire to raise her near our family. Since then, I've been teaching here at ConVal (Go Cougars!)
