A Little about Me
Hello, my name is Jennifer Monroe and I would like to take some time to introduce myself.

Where I have taught and what... After graduating from St. Cloud State University with a major in English and a minor in Spanish, I taught in the St. Cloud School District for two years at South Junior High and Apollo High School. When I had the opportunity to apply at Foley High School, I jumped at the chance. I have decided that small towns are where I belong. For the first three years at FHS I taught Spanish I and since then, have been teaching English and Spanish. I finished my Master's of Arts in Literacy Education and can't wait to continue to incorporate what I have learned into my classes!
