Get to know Katelyn McNamara, our new English teacher at Geneseo High School. McNamara attended St. Ambrose University, and this will be her 13th year teaching high school English. She has taught nine years at Davenport Assumption, one year at Edwardsville, and two years at Serena.
“I’m excited to begin teaching at Geneseo High School because of its supportive community and the many opportunities for students to get involved,” McNamara says. “It excites me to see a community support and root for its students. I also look forward to coaching within the girls’ basketball program and seeing students in a competitive setting. Teaching and coaching are passions of mine because I enjoy guiding students and challenging them to reach their goals while watching them grow along the way.”
We’re excited to introduce Jacqueline Walters, the new agriculture teacher and FFA advisor at Geneseo High School. Walters attended the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign for her bachelor’s degree and master’s degree, both of which are in agricultural education. She has completed five years of teaching various courses in agriculture education and serving as an FFA advisor.
“I am excited to teach in Geneseo because of the support provided for the schools within the community and I believe there is so much room for growth within the agriculture department!” Walters says. “My favorite part about teaching agriculture and being involved in FFA is the relationships that are built with students and families. My classroom environment is built around mutual respect which helps facilitate student learning both independently and in a team.”
