I began teaching Family & Consumer Sciences at ACHS in 2018. Prior to that I spent a few years as a substitute teacher in addition to being a consumer journalist covering baby & family. My additional duties at ACHS include FCCLA chapter adviser, Career & Technical Education Coordinator, and freshman IPS coordinator. I’ve been part of the Bulldog Booster Club for 7 years and am currently serving as co-president. Email: hcorley@usd365.org
