About the Teacher
I am Peggy Emling, and I have taught in Edwardsville since 1999, and for most of that time, I have taught 7th and 8th grade social studies. I have bachelor’s degrees in journalism and history from the University of Missouri-Columbia and Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, respectively. I also have a master’s degree in educational administration from SIU-E.
I also am:
-
program leader for the Washington DC trip,
-
Student Media adviser,
-
a Cub Scout den leader,
-
a sometimes runner,
-
and a ridiculous history geek.
I live with my husband and two sons (Wyatt "Earp", 13, and Teddy "Roosevelt", 10) in Glen Carbon.
I have an unhealthy attachment to all things Benjamin Franklin!
