Ms. Weghorst's Classroom

Ms. Weghorst

Hello and welcome! I am beginning my 3rd year at Murray and my 10th year teaching in St. Paul teaching junior high.

I have a degree in Special Education and Elementary Education from Valparaiso University in Indiana. I grew up mostly in Indianapolis, Indiana and Little Rock, Arkansas. I moved to Minnesota after college to do a volunteer program and have adjusted to the winters quite well!

When I’m not at school, I enjoy playing board and card games, watching movies, and spending time with friends. I own a house in St. Paul and am also working on my gardening skills.

FUN Facts: I was the MVP of my high school swim team. I also was in a movie made by the Disney Channel about the desegregation of Little Rock's Central High School. (Sadly, it is my only film credit.)

Please feel free to e-mail or call if you ever have any questions or concerns about your student's education.
