Mrs. Peterson's Webpage
Born in North Carolina and raised all over the United States, I graduated from Brooke Point High School in Stafford, Virginia in 2000.  In 2003, I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.  Soon after, I realized that teaching was my passion.  I began attending Drake University, earning my Master of Arts in Teaching degree in 2005.  The following two years were spent teaching Reading and Language Arts for the Des Moines Public Schools.  This is my second year teaching English 9 for Ankeny Community Schools.
My husband, Curtis, and I have been Ankeny residents since 2004.  In October of 2006, we were blessed with our daughter, Savannah.  This November, we are expecting our second child.  In my spare time, I enjoy spending lots of time with family and friends, reading, staying active, and cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes.  I truly love teaching English, and thoroughly enjoy working with this age group.  Students this age have so much energy, creativity, and fresh ideas.

I am available during my planning blocks 1 & 5, during Advisement, and before and after school by appointment.
