I have been with the East Penn School District since 1995 and joined the Eyer family in 1998. You're probably thinking, "Wow! You're old!" and I am sure that's partially true. However, I feel teaching and being surrounded by wonderful young adults like yourself has kept me feeling youthful and in-touch with middle school students.
I attended Penn State University for my undergraduate degree and Kutztown University for my master's degree. I love watching sports, especially Penn State Football and Philadelphia sports teams. I also enjoy reading and doing paint-by-numbers!
I teach both Math Course 1 and Math Course 2. Students are placed in one of 3 courses, Course 1, Course 1-2, or Course 2, based on criteria including, but not limited to, PSSA scores and i-Ready Diagnostic data at the end of 5th grade.
