My name is Stefanie McCleish and I am one of the English and Multimedia teachers here at BG. This is my 10th year as a Bison and I LOVE being a part of this special family.

I am an AVID reader and have worked hard to fill my classroom library with books that students will love.

I also love to party plan. If there is a theme I can take it to the next level!

We all have a story and interesting perspective and I can't wait to get to know yours.

I did my undergraduate degree at ISU and could not be prouder to be a Redbird. The education I received there to become a teacher was truly the best.

From there I went to Governor's State University for my Masters and recently finished my ESL endorsement with Dominican.

I pride myself in being a life-long learner and am always seeking opportunities to grow and learn, both personally and professionally.

I have two silly little kiddos. Blair who will be a first grader and Finn who will be in pre-school.

My husband, Kevin is also a teacher. He teaches Social Science and has developed a really cool World Wars class that his students love.

We also have an Australian Cattle Dog named, Archie. He is the sweetest best boy we could ask for!

I absolutely love being a high school teacher. I get to witness my students grow and learn. I get to be a mentor and help them develop into the people they want to be.
My students have helped me to become a better more empathetic person. My job is different every single day. We laugh, we learn, and we lift each other up!
