Mrs. Geske teaches at HAHS

    Since August 2015, Mrs. Geske is a math teacher at Hamburg Area High School. Who teaches algebra 2, geometry, and probability and statistics and was a long term substitute teacher at Brandywine Heights High School for one and a half years.

    Mrs. Geske went to Millersville University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in secondary education mathematics and also received her masters degree in curriculum and instruction from Kutztown University in January 2022. Mrs. Geske received her masters degree online. This was very convenient and great for her because she could be in her home environment with her young son.

     Mrs. Geske has known that she loved math since grade four and had an amazing grade four teacher who really made class fun and math came easy to her. Since she had a great example and was good at math, she thought that being a teacher may be the direction she wanted to take, but she was not sure. Her grade seven math teacher was also great. Mrs. Geske also had other teachers in her family and says the reason she became a teacher was, “part genetics and part great role models.”

     Outside of school Mrs. Geske really enjoys reading. She prefers a really good sci-fi, paranormal, or supernatural book. Mrs. Geske also enjoys baking and scrapbooking. Besides being a math teacher, Mrs. Geske is the anime club advisor at HAHS. She was not really into anime until she met her husband who showed her a show called Fairy Tail and that really piqued her interest in it. Mrs. Geske was an extra advisor for the anime club at Brandywine, and when she came to Hamburg they wanted to start an anime club at HAHS. She helped set up the anime club here in the middle of the 2015-2016 school year.

     Madison Redding, a sophomore at HAHS, has Mrs. Geske for algebra 2 seventh period. Madison says that her class is nice because Mrs. Geske is easy to talk to. Her favorite thing is that when she is having trouble she feels good going to Mrs. Geske for help. Madison says, “math isn’t typically my favorite, but it’s a nice way to end the day.”
