Mrs. Hency is ridiculously delighted to be part of the Ingleside Middle School staff!  She calls herself a ‘border baby’ because she resided on two sides of a water border between Michigan and Ontario, Canada, during her childhood years. When Mrs. Hency graduated with a degree in Sports’ Facilities and Recreation Administration in Ontario, Canada, she made a life-altering decision to become an educator. Following both parents’ footsteps as teachers, she returned to school to attend Central Michigan University to earn a Bachelor of Science in Education majoring and minoring in Science and ELA in 2000. Since 2001, Mrs. Hency has accrued 14 years of teaching experience from three states and one country abroad, England. Teaching science and ELA to middle schoolers has been her realm for numerous years.  By 2011, she earned a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction in Education intentionally setting a future goal to ‘step’ out of the classroom to pursue a more specialized path in education. Mrs. Hency’s other experiences in education include coaching Freshman girls’ volleyball, continuously accumulating experience by participating in district curriculum development related to middle school science, summer education camps, volunteering for after school tutoring, and investing time in the process of science textbook adoptiAbout Our SchoolAbout Our Schoolons for two school districts. Mrs. Hency is ready to support the Trojan team at Ingleside! GO TROJANS!
