Hello!  My name is Amy Quinn.  I am a wife to Clint, and a mother of Clay, Bailey, and a step-daughter, Logan.  A master’s degree calls my name in the near future.  I am currently enrolled at UT Tyler in the Educational Leadership program to ultimately become a principal.  I have been teaching at Chapel Hill High School since January of 2007.  Teaching is not a job, but a true passion for me.  Not only do I teach reading and writing skills, but I also look at this career as an opportunity to attempt to touch many in a way that will motivate students to be their best and succeed far beyond any thought imagined.  I want to leave a mark in life where my passion for education shines the brightest light ever on the darkest soul to desire learning.   I teach English IV & English II.
