Mrs. O’Donnell is a new English teacher at Mashpee. She's been a teacher for a few years, and now at Mashpee she's enjoying the school, and the surroundings. She grew up at a farm in upstate New York and graduated from a school in North Carolina and became a teacher for two other schools before teaching at Mashpee High. I asked her a few questions to know a little bit more about her.
Q: What made you come to Mashpee schools?
A: “So I was looking for a school where I could be part of the community, and I good friend of mine was a math teacher here for a very long time. He’s retired a number of years ago, and he always had good things to say about Mashpee, he talked about it being a nice environment. I know people who’ve lived in Mashpee, and their kids have gone through the system, so it seemed like a good place to work. I also applied on the Cape because I have a lot of family on Cape, and it's really nice to be closer to family. So those two choices lead to me looking for a job here, and thankfully getting one.”
