Teacher Contact and Bio

It's a pleasure being part of such a great school district and staff at the junior high.  Before stepping into this position, I taught fifth grade at Bolin Elementary in East Peoria for thirteen years, and then led the Stem Lab at Central Junior High in East Peoria for three years.  

I attended college at ICC and ISU.  From ICC I earned my Associate's Degree and from ISU I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.  I continued my education at ISU and earned my Master's of Curriculum and Instruction in 2008.  In May of 2014 I completed my administration certification at Bradley. 

I call Morton my hometown and where I live with my wife, three daughters, and a cat and a dog.
