Ms. Lane

I have taught for the last 22 years, serving students with specific academic, social, and emotional needs.

Before teaching, I was a case manager for foster children and a therapeutic counselor in a residential facility in Lake County. I have volunteered with a theater company using writing as a modality to work with incarcerated teens. 

I earned my bachelor's degree with a double major in Family and Consumer Resources and Psychology from the University of Arizona; I earned my master's degree in Special Education from National Louis University.

Personally, I have traveled extensively around the world to become a culturally sensitive, globally minded teacher.

This school year 2026-2027, I will co-teach Senior Seminar with Mr. McConnell; this course will help your child's plans and decide on their post-secondary endeavors. 

I will also teach English III with Mrs. Widman; this course will develop your child's English language skills and prepare for the ACT. 

We know this will be a terrific and productive year !! 

Please sign up to connect and view Google Classroom to see work assigned to your child(ren), also grades will be updated in Aspen regularly.
