Mrs. Brown
I have had the privilege of teaching at Lakeview for the past 16 years. I attended Youngstown State University where I received my degree in Middle Childhood Education with specialties in Mathematics and Social Studies. I have since obtained my Master’s Degree at YSU as well in Educational Administration. I love my job and enjoy teaching. I also enjoy spending time with my family. I have been married to my husband for 11 years and we have a 8 year old son. My son is a student in the district as well. I am an employee and a parent; therefore, I try my best to be accommodating and understanding in both roles. I believe in the idea that it takes a village to raise a child. I am honored to be a part of your child’s education and development. I am looking forward to a great year with your child.

Coffee is my fuel, teaching is my game.
I love to travel, especially to the beach! If I’m not spending time with my family, I’m probably at a country music concert.
Although I am a graduate of Howland High School, I am very enthusiastic to be joining the Lakeview Bulldog team! I am also a graduate of Youngstown State University where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Middle Childhood Education. Go Guins! I’m excited to share my passions of Math and English Language Arts with so many 5th graders as well as joining such a great school district. Go Bulldogs!

I have been teaching Gateway since August of 1990- yes I am teaching the second generation for at least two families. I graduated from Warren G. Harding High School, and got an Elementary Education Degree from Grove City College. I have a Master's Degree in Reading from Westminster College and became certified to teach Gifted through Ashland University. Although the curriculum and the kids have changed over the years, it continues to be my desire to challenge and enrich the lives of these identified gifted or high achieving students.
I have been married to Joe since 1975. We have been blessed with two adult children who have married and given us six grandchildren. We love piano recitals, Sunday afternoon soccer marathons, tee ball, youth theater, and taking them to Disney World. We have taught Sunday School to two and three-year-olds for more than 25 years (so we are on the second generation there too.) We love the small group that meets at our house each month and the women's book club that meets weekly during the summer.
I think of Gateway as a deep pool. Some students have been thrown in and will swim immediately, some will struggle, some will refuse to kick their feet and need to be pulled up from the bottom. In any case, I have no intention of letting anyone drown.

I love teaching science because it encourages students to discover new elements about their world. It is a discipline where students learn through hands on activities and can test their own hypothesis. In seventh grade science we will develop problem solving skills and establish a foundation for understanding the natural world.
I earned my B.S. in Middle Childhood Education from Y.S.U. and my Masters in Education Leadership from the University of Cincinnati. I taught in Youngstown for five years, before joining the staff at Lakeview in 2007. I married my high school sweetheart in 1981, and we now have four adult children. We are a close military family who strongly believes in “God, Family, and Country.” “Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.”

Mrs. Quinlan
I am currently in my 5th year of teaching at Lakeview Middle School. I am teaching 6th grade English Language Arts and Math. I am excited to help my students in ELA improve their reading and writing skills, and I look forward to helping my math students to optimistically enter the world of Algebra. Aside from my passion for teaching, my other hobbies including running, reading, playing with my cat, and spending time with my family. If you have any questions, I will respond to email at my earliest convenience. As always, it's a great day to be a Bulldog.
