Hilaree Emmons
I was
born in Hardin, Mt and raised in the small town of Hysham, Mt. I am the youngest
of three girls in my family. I graduated from Hysham High School in 1994, where
I then proceeded to head East for college. I attended Valley City State University, where I
played volleyball and fast pitch softball. I graduated from VCSU in the spring
of 1998 with a B.S. in Education. I chose the field of teaching because I love
working with kids, plus it runs in my family (both my parents are still
teaching, and one of my sisters is currently teaching)!! I began my teaching
career here in McLaughlin during the fall of 1998 where I was the elementary
behavior modification teacher for 3 years. Then I changed positions and became
the aquatics instructor for 4 years, before moving yet again!! For the start of my 9th year here
in McLaughlin I will be teaching middle school reading. I have found this teaching position to be fun
(yet challenging), but I’m sure I’ll survive!! During my time in McLaughlin I
have made many great friends and started my family. My significant other and I
have a beautiful and energetic 5 year old daughter, who keeps us going and
makes our life joyous!! She will be in “the big school” this year -- going to
Kindergarten. Joining our family on March 1st this year was another
beautiful daughter who is filling our life with even more joy! My 14 year old step son is a freshman this
year. During my spare time I enjoy
spending time with my family, playing softball (GO BLAZETTES!!), refereeing
volleyball, and teaching water aerobics.
To add to my “spare time” I think I’ll start training for the Sitting
Bull Triathlon – since I participated this year without training – it took me
awhile to finish it – but hey I made it!!!
