Introduction

Introduction


My name is Paige Hussey and I am a 7th grade language arts teacher. I have my ELL endorsement, and that population of kiddos hold a special place in my heart! I am in my 5th year of teaching, but third year at my current district in Schaumburg. I taught my first two years right outside Indianapolis, IN. 

I serve as the 7th grade language arts representative for our building's Staff Leadership Team (SLT), and I LOVE the school I teach at, so I don't even mind I have an hour commute (I live in the south suburbs). I have realized over the last few years just how much I enjoy teaching junior high and every day my students challenge me, make me laugh, and remind me why I love this profession. 

Fun Facts About Me:
1. I completed my undergrad at Indiana University (go Hoosiers!), where I was the President of the Filipino Student Association. My cultural identity is extremely important to me and I have a lot of Filipino pride.
2. I love to bake, especially fun-flavored cupcakes and desserts.
3. I just got engaged! On Oct. 6, my fiance, Joe, popped the question in our home after dinner. We are so excited for this next adventure and plan to get married May 2022!

I also really love dogs! We adopted our dog, Luna in Dec. 2019!
