Kelly O'Hara

My name is Kelly O'Hara, and I teach Junior High Math. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Math and Economics from Northwestern University and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Loyola University. I previously worked in business in the area of computer consulting. I received my teaching licensure from National-Louis University where all of my coursework revolved around iPads and other technologies and how to incorporate these into teaching and learning. I have elementary licensure and middle school endorsements in math and social studies. While at National-Louis, I received the Ida Summins merit scholarship for academic excellence and community service. I continue to serve our community in many capacities including Cub Scout den leader, Boy Scout merit badge counselor, and photographer for a youth theater company. I believe every child can learn and that by using a variety of techniques we can educate every child. I model lifelong learning for children in my classroom and bring real-world examples to the subjects I teach. I look forward to welcoming your child to my classroom.
