• About Mrs. Bell

    I have been  married to my husband, Mike, for 20 years. We have two children. Our daughter, Meghan, a Senior here at HHS, is a Cheerleader, Gymnast, and throws shot put and discus.  Our son, Aaron, a 7th grader at Hobart Middle School, plays football, basketball, and little league baseball. My husband and I coach them as often as we are able to.  They definitely keep us busy! 
     
    I was born in Hobart and have lived here all my life.  I went to St. Bridget School for preschool through 8th grade and then continued on to Hobart High School. While at HHS, I was a cheerleader and cheered for several State Champion Brickie football teams and the 1992 sectional champion basketball team. I was also an active member of Genesius Players and had performing roles in several HHS productions. My husband, Mike--a Brickie football player and wrestler-- and I both graduated from Hobart High School in 1992. 
     
    After my time as a student at HHS,  I continued my education at  Indiana University Northwest. I majored in Elementary Education (1st-6th grades) and Minored in Learning Disabilities (K-12) and Cognitive Disabilities (K-12). At the end of my college studies, I student taught at Hobart's Joan Martin Elementary School, and in 1996,  I graduated from IUN with high academic distinction ranking among the top 10 students in the entire school of education.
     
    I began my teaching career with  6th, 7th, and 8th grade students at Hanover Central Middle School in Cedar Lake, Indiana. I taught at HCMS for 10 years before having the opportunity to come back home to teach at Hobart High School in 2005. I am enjoying every moment that I am honored to be a part of the amazing staff here at Hobart High School!  
     
     I look forward to meeting and getting to know you, OR continuing to work with you again this year as your teacher :)
