About Your
TEACHER
My name is Mrs. Wallace.
I teach English 10, End of Course Test Prep, and Heroes & Villains in Literature and Film. I also advise the Quadrant Yearbook with Madame O'Hara Kropf.
I began my teaching career in 1996 at Jackson Junior High in Sandusky where I taught 8th-grade English. From there, I went to Norwalk St. Paul High School for 2 years, where I taught English as well as Journalism and Speech. In 1999, I became a Pirate here at PHS.
I look forward to a fabulous year with all of you.
Believe it or not, your teachers have lives outside of the classroom! Here is a little bit about me with some photos to help you get to know me a little better.
I'm a WIFE. I got married to my husband Matt 32 years ago. We met at Cedar Point in 1989, where we were both working at the Marina Steakhouse. Matt and I both love to boat and enjoy the lake.
I'm a MOM. My son Michael loves music, playing his guitar, cooking, D and D, video games, and traveling.
I'm also a MOM to my dog Berkley. We rescued Berkley from a shelter in Indiana about five years ago. She's a Wheaten Terrier that loves to swim, and go for rides in the truck or car. She is protective of her family and home so she barks at squirrels, woodchucks, Amazon trucks, UPS vans, people, dogs, . . .
I'm a READER. Some of my favorite books are: The Count of Monte Cristo, The Help, To Kill a Mockingbird, When the Moon Hatched, The Lord of the Rings, The Empyrean series, ACOTAR, Practical Magic, Little Women, Gone With the Wind, The Body Farm, Assistant to the Villain, IT, . . .

I'm a TRAVELER. Madame Kropf, who teaches French, once told me that if I go to Europe I'll want to keep going back. I hate to admit it, but she was right. She talked me into helping her with the trips to France, and we go every two years. I am beyond blessed, and I absolutely LOVE it. I also enjoy roaming around Ohio and heading to other states in our nation to explore. Some of my favorite places are Nags Head, Myrtle Beach, Pigeon Forge, Disney World, and San Francisco.
I'm a BUCKEYE through and through. I grew up watching the Buckeyes and eventually graduated from The Ohio State University in 1990. On Saturdays, you can find me cheering on my Buckeyes no matter where in the world I might be.
