Hi!    My name is Elizabeth McHugh.  This is my third year teaching at Pathfinder.  Prior to this assignment,  I spent 15 years teaching fifth and sixth grade at Navigator. Before coming to Pinckney,  I taught sixth and seventh grade Science & Social Studies in Plymouth-Canton. 
         I'm looking forward to another exciting year at Pathfinder.  This year, I will only be teaching 7th grade Social Studies.  The curriculum covers ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, India, Greece, and Rome. 
    I am a graduate of the University of Michigan and earned my master's degree at Eastern Michigan University.  I am married to Tom, who teaches here at Pathfinder, also.  We have 2 sons, who are in 7th & 5th grade and a daughter in 2nd grade this year.  Last summer, we adopted a Labradoodle puppy named Honey.  She is scared of feathers and enjoys barking at night. We have a very busy household and I totally understand how crazy life can get after school, with homework and extracurricular activities.  
       When I have free time (haha, what's free time?), I love to read!  I also like to run, golf, and play volleyball.  I am on a women's volleyball team with Ms. Smith and Ms. Madill during the winter months. I also enjoy trying new recipes and baking yummy treats for my family.
