The Whitnall High School English Department is an energetic group of women whose interests range
           from running in marathons to playing Sims 3,
           from avid reading to gourmet cooking, and
          from raising children to enjoying grandsons. 
· We are blond, brunette, and silver haired.  
· One of us is a first year teacher, and one of us has over twenty-eight years in the classroom. 
· Some of us have our Master’s degree, and all of us are lifelong students. 
· We strive to be the best teachers we can be for the children of the Whitnall School District. 
· We are passionate about our chosen vocation.
