About Mrs Ragan

Hi! My name is Susan Ragan and this is my third year at Bell Middle School. Prior to moving here two years ago with my husband and two pups, Barley and Jeb, I lived in Philadelphia, PA and enjoyed visiting Ocean City, NJ during the summer. Now we enjoy all Colorado has to offer with our pups and son, Charlie.

I began my teaching career in 2005 at Hammonton Middle School (New Jersey) before joining the Bell Family in 2015. I have held various teaching positions in Science, Language Arts, Special Education, and most currently Math. My educational background has had a varied path. I earned my BA in Business/Economics from Lafayette College in PA, and a few short years later I realized my true passion was teaching. After returning to school, I received my NJ teaching certificate in Elementary Education, Middle School Mathematics and Special Education from Georgian Court University in NJ. Still wanting to continue my education, in 2012 I went back to school, yet again, to earn my Master's degree in Wellness and Lifestyle Management from Rowan University in NJ. Along with continuing my career in teaching, I follow my dedication to wellness by teaching kids yoga classes.

In my time outside of teaching, I enjoy being outdoors, practicing yoga, traveling internationally and visiting family and friends back home in South Jersey. Every year, I always make sure to participate in one of my favorite 10 mile race (Broad St.) in Philadelphia, PA with a group of good friends.
