Meet Your Teachers
MRS. PARKER
I love, love, love to teach! Teaching has been my passion for the past 13 years. I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I was in third grade. My teacher, Mrs. Baker, influenced me to become a teacher. She was and continues to be an inspiration to me. I graduated from University of Central Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science in Education. I continued my education at Kent State University to earn a Master in Education in reading specialization.
When I am not at school I enjoy spending time with Mr. Parker and my daughter, Lillian. We enjoy riding bikes, reading books, spending time with family, baking, and just having lots of fun.
MRS. RADTKE
I also love to teach. I have been teaching for the past 24 years. I graduated from Bowling Green State University with both a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Special Education(Developmentally Handicapped). I received a Master's Degree from John Carroll University. Mr. Radtke teaches Social Studies at AHS. My daughter is a senior at OSU and my son is a senior at Twinsburg High School. I love to read and walk.
