My name is Heidi Gorr, and I am the Literature teacher for Junior High.  I received my Bachelor of Science degree in English Secondary Education from Illinois State University.  I am certified to teach English in grades 6—12.  I also have a Middle School endorsement, in addition to endorsements in Social Science, Language Arts, and Speech.  In 2015 I earned my Gifted Education Teacher endorsement as well.  I am a Sigma Tau Delta English Honors Society Member, and an Anna Keaton English Scholarship Recipient. I spent the first thirteen years of my teaching career at St. Raymond School in Mt. Prospect as their Junior High Literature teacher, and I loved every minute of it!  While it was extremely difficult to leave, I could not pass up the opportunity to come home to St. Hubert School.  I am a proud graduate of St. Hubert School as well as a parishioner, and my children attend St. Hubert School. My goal as a junior high teacher is to encourage students to think for themselves and not be afraid to break away from the crowd.  My classroom is student centered and fosters open minds and respect for yourself and those around you.
