Hello! I am the Art teacher here at Pleasant Hill Middle school, and I look forward to teaching you this year. I was born, raised and educated in the UK, finally moving to the US in 1985 when I was an adult. I am married to a Colonel in the National Guard and have two college-aged children and a beagle named Baxter.
