Welcome to my class! My name is Mrs. Simpson and this is my 18th year of teaching for the Rose Hill School District. I taught 8th grade ELA for 8 years, 5th grade for 5 years, and this is my 5th year as the IS Title I Reading Interventionist. I grew up in Rose Hill and graduated from Rose Hill High School. I attended Wichita State University, where I first received a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Business Education. Then I returned to WSU and received a Bachelor's in Elementary Education (K-9). I received my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Grand Canyon University. I have been happily married to my husband, Gary, for 31 years and we have two children, Cameron and Kylie. Gary is an Engineering Manager at Spirit Aerosystems, Cameron is a Project Engineer at DJ Engineering in Augusta, KS, and Kylie is a Neuro ICU nurse in Fort Worth, Tx. I have a German Shepherd named Cooper, who is almost 14 years old! In my spare time, I love to travel and spend time with family. I also love to read, watch movies, and cheer on my favorite sports teams. Go CHIEFS! Go SHOCKERS! I am so excited to have you in my class this year!
