I graduated from New Albany High School, in New Albany, Indiana a very loonnnggg time ago.  During my junior year in high school I started playing tennis and was able to get a scholarship to attend and play for Stetson University in Deland, Florida.  I have been teaching since 1981 (all except for about three years),  teaching elementary, grades 1, 2 and 5 for several years.  Moving to Clewiston Middle School,  I taught 6th grade English and eighth grade Reading.  After a short moment teaching 8th grade Reading and Language Arts at Stuart Middle School, I returned to Clewiston Middle and began teaching my most favorite subject.
