Welcome to my home page!  I teach five class periods each day, so please note that I am not at school all day, every day.  If you call and leave a message, I will absolutely return your call the next day.  Email is the best way to reach me, though, since I check my messages there at home in the evenings. 

This is the page for English 9, 10 and 11.  Senior English and all of the rubrics associated with that class are under Senior English.  It is my goal to teach all students the skills necessary to be competitive for standardized tests and to prepare them for life in the 'real' world.  My gradebook is available online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  I update each class gradebook regularly, so please track your student's progress often. 

I thank you for the opportunity to teach your child.  Garden Valley is a great community.  Please support your athletic teams and the music and art programs whenever possible, as well.  I look forward to seeing you around!
