Today our Staff Spotlight shines on Mrs. Eggenberger!
Mrs. Eggenberger is a social studies teacher at Alma High School, and has been teaching for 30 years. We are appreciative that she took some time to answer our questions, and we are excited to share her responses!
Q: What do you enjoy about working at APS?
Teenagers are the best! I love working with high school students. I love when former students contact me to tell me how they are using knowledge that they learned in my class.
Outside of APS, I have some leadership roles within the AP U.S. Government community and the AP Comparative Government community. The work is challenging, but I like how the demands keep me focused. It is also fun for me to collaborate with AP government teachers from around the world. I am grateful for the friendships I have made through AP.
Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy spending time with my family. I am married to my husband Ben. We have two daughters (Emily and Elaine) and the best dog in the world (Indi). I also enjoy reading, camping, and golfing.
Q: What are some things people might be surprised to learn about you?
-I have spent my entire career in the same classroom.
-My birth certificate is not written in English.
-I LOVE to travel, but I HATE to fly.
-I love ice cream, but it cannot have chunks of fruit in it. That's gross. :)
-I am a HUGE fan of Huey Lewis and the News.
-I can't watch scary movies.
Q: What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
When somebody asks you what you teach, the answer is "kids", not your subject matter. Remember that we serve people, not subjects.

A group of our middle school students is participating in an exciting eight week program through Alma College. The Alma Enrichment Partnership Science Program has students work alongside four experienced science faculty to engage in exciting, hands-on enrichment activities designed to go beyond what they might see in their middle school science classes (e.g., building a telescope, monitoring blood sugar, etc.)
Here are a few picture from the work the students did with Dr. Kingsland last week.
