Welcome to Ms. Aker's
9th Grade Literature Class!
About me:
Hi everyone! My name is Kerry Akers and I teach both 8th grade ELA and 9th grade literature here at Pepperell High, the best high school around.
In the past I have taught social studies grades 6 through 8 and ELA/Lit in grades 6 through 12. I am a major reader of the classics, anything that has to do with history, as well as anything weird or creepy!
I graduated from Kennesaw State University with a bachelor's degree in education. I currently live in Calhoun. I have three children.
I look forward to getting to know you and share in your learning journey!
