Hello! I am Trish Meegan and I have been working in CPS for 24 years (have taught for 26 years) and have found my home at Coonley for 14 of those years. I am entering my 7th 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 and develop into young adults 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 and I am a National Board Certified Teacher. I completed my ESL endorsement last year. 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 attending the University of Iowa as a sophomore. Go Hawks!! My youngest is an 8th grader at my neighborhood school (Go Panthers!) and I can't believe I have to do the whole high school thing again, so I feel your pain. 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 two adorable dogs (both rescue pups - Daisy and Lotto) who like to make 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 children and their education, a responsibility I take seriously. I am looking forward to working with you and your child this year! Please feel free to contact me at any time at prmeegan@cps.edu.
