Ms. McCormick

What makes you light up??

Here at the Interest Center, we are looking to help make your Middle School experience a unique one. If you have a creative idea for a project, a topic you must pursue further, or just need a place to take a breathe from the hustle and bustle, this is the place for you.

Mr. Trembly and I work with Reading and Language Arts classes in grades 5-8 as requested from classroom teachers. We also are interested in providing Social Studies Enrichment as needed, and always love an interesting Independent Study if a student wishes to do so.

Like last year, I will serve as one of three Student Council Advisors and a “Soccer Mom” to the Girl’s Soccer Team. Click below for updates with both activities!
