I'm really excited about all the great experiences my students and  I will have this year at Miffinburg Area High School!  I'm glad you decided to check out my classroom website.  This website's primary purpose is to be a connection between home and school.  Here you will find information about me, my educational philosophy, a page of web resources, and a page for each course I teach including copies of items such as a course syllabus and classroom policies.



About Mrs. Zimmerman
The 2016-2017 school year is my seventh year teaching at Mifflinburg Area High School.  I am looking for more great things to happen this year!  Prior to coming to Mifflinburg, I graduated from Danville Area High School and attended Bloomsburg University.  I received my bachelor's degree in Secondary Education with certifications in English and Social Studies from Bloomsburg University in 2010.  In 2015 I also completed my Master of Science in Reading with a certification as a Reading Specialist from Wilkes University.  This year, I am teaching four different freshmen level courses: English Language Arts 9, Honors English Language Arts 9, Speaking and Listening, and Career Communications. 

In high school I was involved in Danville's FFA chapter; I love how active our FFA chapter is here in Mifflinburg!  I also showed dairy heifers in 4-H at my county fair as well as at the Bloomsburg Fair.  My connection to agriculture is also how I met my husband, Jeremiah, who is from the Mifflinburg area.  In addition to my agricultural interests, I have always loved history, reading, and writing.  I also enjoy running and have completed several half marathons, 5 Ks, and two full marathons.

My parents, who still live in Danville, are very important to me and I value the time that I have to spend with them.  Also, I am so proud of my younger brother who served our country in the United States Air Force!  My family will grow this fall as my brother is getting married in Nebraska in October. 

My husband and I currently live west of Laurelton, and I love the natural and agricultural beauty of western Union County.  There is no place else that I would rather be!
