My name is Susan Sangwa, and I am the division head for the English & Fine Arts.  I also teach freshmen Written and Oral Communications.  This is my 4th year at Buffalo Grove High School.

I am a midwest gal, growing up mostly in Iowa and Illinois.  Before teaching, I was ranger for the National Service, which signifies my great love of the outdoors, history, and our national parks and forests.

I went to high school at Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora, Illinois. I received my undergraduate degree from Western Illinois University, and my graduate degree from North Central College in Naperville.  Always eager to learn, I am currently looking for additional programs and coursework in literature, ESL, and DEI.

I've been in education for 18 years.  8 of those years have been in leadership roles.  Prior to BG, I was the English administrator at Bolingbrook High School.  Before that, I taught English at Hinsdale Central High School and James Madison High School in Vienna, Virginia.

I have two wonderful children, one in elementary school and one in middle school; two fantastic four-legged family members, Buddy & Chloe; and a great partner in crime, my husband, Daoud.

We love to spend our time outside: camping, hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking, and more.

We also enjoy Marvel movie marathons, too many Netflix series to mention, and finding fun places to eat!
