Hello! I am Trish Meegan and I have been working in CPS for 28 years (have taught for 30 years) and have found my home at Coonley for 18 of those years. I am entering my 11th year teaching in the middle school and I love the opportunity to work with students over an extended period of time. It is exciting to see students grow, develop and share their journey toward high school.
I have a Bachelor's degree from St. Mary's College in Elementary Education, a Master's degree in Reading, Writing and Literacy from the University of Illinois, hold multiple endorsements (Social Science, ESL, Dance, Administrative, Reading Specialist) and I am a National Board Certified Teacher. I love to learn and continue to take classes to ensure that I am always ready for you. I also understand what it means to do homework on a regular basis.
I have two daughters, both have attended CPS schools. My oldest is a graduate from Lincoln Park High School's IB program and is a graduate of the University of Iowa. Go Hawks!! My youngest is a senior at Lane Tech College Prep and loves musical theater. My husband is a singer/songwriter and his work can be heard in TV/movies. He also plays percussion which might explain why I have an aversion to desk drumming. I have a new puppy, Dottie, who keeps me busy and makes sure I'm up early and ready for school.
As a parent/teacher, I am passionate about public education. I appreciate that you are trusting me with your/your child's education, a responsibility I take seriously. I am looking forward to working with you this year! Please feel free to contact me at any time at [email protected].
