Hello and welcome to room 115. I am so excited that you came to check out our website! Many of my returning 8th grade students know me all too well, as this will be my third straight year with this great group. For all of my new students, and for my returning students, you may have noticed the new last name. I was just married on July 25th, 2015 and am now officially a Hurley. I can't wait to see all of my returning students and get to know all of the wonderful new additions to The Academy@Shawnee Middle School. See below to learn a little bit more about me and be prepared to tell me all about you too!
