Hi! My name is Mrs. Hack and I am the 8th grade English Resource teacher. I am so excited to begin this next school year! 

I have lived in Las Vegas, Nevada for most of my life, however, I do have a short period of time where I lived in Arizona. I have always lived in hot places, so when I moved to Reno/Sparks, the snow was a new thing for me. I enjoy living in a place that actually has all four seasons! My mom and my sister are back in Las Vegas, and my father lives in Columbus, Ohio where he runs his own business.  

Reno became my home when I came here for college. I attended the University of Nevada, Reno and made some friends that will stay with me for a lifetime. While in college I majored in Secondary Education with an emphasis in English. I have studied a lot of old books and how the English language works.  

I did my student teaching at Swope Middle School in an 8th grade English class and fell in love with teaching middle school! I might be a crazy for liking middle school, but I think in order to really love this job you need to have a little crazy in you. When I came to Sky Ranch, I was both excited and nervous. It was my first teaching job and I did not was to mess it up. Coming into my second year of teaching, I am even more excited than I was before.  

When I am not at school, I love going back home to Las Vegas, going to Disneyland, eating great food, and even just staying at home watching TV. Back in March my husband, DJ and I got our very own quarantine puppy! He is a dachshund named Link and yes, like a sausage link! We love him so much and have almost spent a small fortune on buying him tennis balls.  

I cannot wait for what this new school year holds for us!
