My name Barbara Almendinger-Harper and I am one of the 8th grade Language Arts teachers. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a bachelor’s degree in science. I earned my master’s degree of Science in Education. I have taught at Utica Middle School for thirty-one years. I have two sons, David and Jeremy. I also have two stepsons, Kendall and KJ. My hobbies including bike riding, hiking, cooking, spending time with my family, and of course reading.
I get to bring Scout, our school therapy dog, to school with me every day. Scout loves to hang out with the students and enjoys being walked by them each day.
I love teaching Language Arts and introducing students to reading a wide variety of books. I am very blessed to come to work today and spend each day with the great kids who attend Utica Schools.
