My name is Tara Henley, and this will be my 16th year teaching. This will be my 5th year teaching at St. John Regional School. Prior to teaching at SJRS, I taught at David R. Cawley Middle School in Hooksett and I was a long term substitute at St. Joseph Regional School in Keene.

A few things about me:

• I am a wicked math nerd. You wouldn’t expect anything less from the person teaching you math, right? I was not always good at math. In fact, I hated math when I was in elementary school. It was not something that I understood because I was never taught why the math works. Once I was in middle school, I had an amazing math teacher who opened my eyes to the beauty that is mathematics.
• I went to Keene State College and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics Education (5-8). I recently earned my Masters Degree in Mathematics Curriculum and Instruction (K-14) from Concordia University.
• I am married to a wonderful man who works as a Firefighter/EMT and am the mother of two children. My children both attend SJRS.
• I absolutely love to read. I really enjoy the Harry Potter series and am currently working my way through Rick Riordan’s series as we speak. You will find a plethora of books in my classroom that you are welcome to borrow.
