Although new to Pattonville, new English teacher Ms. Haley Hunter has been #VilleMade. She graduated from Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri.
“I like the sense of community that I feel at Pattonville,” Hunter said. “That’s what stood out to me when I was applying everywhere.”
Being her first teaching job ever, Hunter wants to make sure her students are successful critical readers, writers and thinkers.
“I want to help students like to learn.”
She is focused on helping the students.
“Something that really stuck out to me was the ‘That All Will Learn’ motto that we have here,” Hunter said. “That’s something that really aligns with my philosophy of teaching.”
Hunter’s favorite thing about teaching is getting students to be engaged in what they are talking about in the classroom. She wants to take something the students have never thought or heard about and make them interested.
“I want to get them hooked and want to learn about it.”
