My name is Mrs. Van Wagoner and I teach 7th grade Ancient World History. While this will be my 18th year of teaching, it is only my 6th year at DLMS and Caledonia Community Schools. Becoming a part of this incredible school system and community has been one of the best decisions of my life.
First of all, you need to know that I LOVE teaching. Ever since the 2nd grade, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I am an alumni of Comstock Park High School where I played basketball, volleyball, and golf. After high school, I received my bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Oakland University. I was hired at Mill Creek Middle School in Comstock Park in the fall of 2006. During that time, I went on to earn my masters degree in Reading & Language Arts from Grand Valley State University. I have had many different roles throughout my teaching career. I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade language arts, 6th and 7th grade social studies, and I have also been a reading interventionist. This year, I am thrilled to be teaching 7th grade Ancient World History (it really isn't as boring as it sounds, I promise!). I am also the Varsity Girls Golf Coach for Caledonia.
I currently live in Walker with my husband Mike and two daughters Brielle (12) and Sienna (10). We also have two dogs--a chorkie named Diego and a pomsky named Roxy.
I love to read, cook/bake, watch movies, and travel. My absolute favorite thing to do is to spend quality time with my family and friends.
