Anna McNulty (RCEES/Philosophy) Anna is now entering her second year teaching high school English at Sumner High School in St. Louis, Missouri through Teach for America. This year she finds herself teaching English Literature, AP English, a college-prep program called AVID, and working as Sumner's AP Coordinator in my "free time." She is also working on a Masters in Secondary Education and a permanent teaching certificate in that very same "free time." She should have the Masters from the University of Missouri - St. Louis by August, 2008. She has no real long-term plans yet, aside from ditching the previous long-term plan of attending graduate school in Philosophy. Her job is extremely rewarding and her students rock.
