Your Planning Pal - Ali Ant

I started teaching back in 2006 and my first students are now in their 30's! The majority of my experience is at the high school level (it's my favorite), but I have taught kindergarten through 12th grade. I've lost track of the number of different classes I've taught - everything from a weekly computer class for the little ones to Money Management at the middle school level to a wide range of high school electives including Accounting, Digital Photo, Entrepreneurship, Advertising & Digital Media, Video Announcements, and Yearbook just to name a few!

I love planning and coming up with innovative ways to reach diverse learners! However, I have learned that without a doubt, regardless of how well-planned a lesson is, it's all about the people in the room! I really care about my kids and truly enjoy getting to know them through things like "Thankful Thursday" bell work.

Recognized as one of our County's Amazing Teachers, 2018 and a Superb Staff Member, 2019. Chosen by a student as his Most Impactful Teacher, 2021.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a specialization in Marketing and a Master of Education with a focus in Business and Marketing Education.

I believe in making an effort to make improvements. This lead me to service on both my district's Building Leadership and District Leadership Teams. It also inspired me to co-found the Sunshine Committee and Spirit Squad to improve school culture.
