Substitute teachers play an important role in education by filling in for regular teachers whilst absent, and we have lots of important substitutes here at HAHS. 

     Mrs. M Keck is a very important substitute in HAHS, filling in for many different classes and subjects. Recently, she has been substituting for freshman civics class while Mr. Zimmerman has been out. Students throughout all grades love Mrs. Keck and often visit her to have a chat. Freshman Cali Tobias says, “Mrs. Keck does a fantastic job at teaching along with doing a great job at interacting with every one of her students.” 

     Before substituting, Mrs. Keck worked at Lowe’s as a front end supervisor and East Penn manufacturing in an injection molding building. In the future, Mrs. Keck would like to become a social studies teacher. “I substitute for the social studies department a lot of the time, since I have a certification to teach social studies. I really enjoyed history and learning about the past in school and college! I also had great social studies and history teachers that really piqued my interest in the subject!” One of her favorite parts of substituting is being able to connect with all the different students she meets. “I would say my favorite part about substituting would be getting to know all of the students. Instead of being in one room day after day, I get moved around a lot. I’ve gotten to know a lot of the students and it’s a lot of fun being able to interact with everyone!” In the future, Mrs. Keck hopes to become a permanent social studies teacher here at hahs. “I hope to become a high school social studies teacher somewhere!”

     In the future, many students and staff would love to have Mrs. Keck as a HAHS civics teacher and hope to see her more in the future.
