2018-2019 School Year

Welcome to my English webpage! Find homework and writing help on this website as well as assignments.  Don't forget to check out the English pets!  Elements and updates will occur as the year progresses. So please check back!

I am in my 25th year of teaching high school English.  I have my Ed. M. and my National Board certification.  I started my career at Urbana High School.  I was there for 12 years before I came to Tuscola.  I currently teach English IV, American Literary Studies, and Creative Expressions.  I am excited to officially rejoin the yearbook as a co-sponsor this year.  I am also a co-sponsor for NHS, co-sponsor for prom, and the advisor for SADD (follow us on Twitter @tchssadd). 

My husband and I grew up in Tuscola and decided to make our home here.  Our daughter is now a member of the Tuscola alumni and is at the U of I pursuing her dreams.  We are proud to be a part of this community.

Please feel free to contact me at hoelc@tuscola.k12.il.us.

Thanks and Go Warriors!
