Hola y bienvenidos!

My name is Traci DeGarmo and I'm excited for another year here at NA!  I am a graduate of Slippery Rock University (K-12 Spanish) and Edinboro University (Educational Leadership) and this will be my 14th year teaching.  I began my teaching career at Solanco School District in Lancaster County before moving back to western PA where I also taught at Grove City High School.  I currently reside in Lawrence County with my husband and 6 year old son, Nicholas.  I enjoy attending school-sponsored events; so, if you ever see us out in the community, please introduce yourself!

I have at passion for traveling and discovering new cultures and places!  While I've traveled to Spain and Central America, Costa Rica holds a special place in my heart.  I studied Women in Literature at UCR while attending Slippery Rock and have taken 3 student groups through the country.  Through all of my studies and travels, I've found the best way to learn the language is being immersed in the language.  Therefore, I try my best to replicate that in my classroom with instruction and assessments.
