Mrs. Graham 

I have been with Georgetown-Ridge Farm High School starting in the fall of 2015. I have begun my teaching experience in the Peoria, IL area in the fall of 1994. I am a graduate of Eastern Illinois University and Illinois State University. I live with my family in Terre Haute, IN area. My husband and I enjoy antiques and showing our antique tractors at different shows in the Midwest. We currently have cats and one dog to go with all the wildlife on our thirty acres of woods.

Business education is a great investment in any student's future. The curriculum offered at Georgetown-Ridge Farm High School will give students the chance to experience different avenues in the business world and create an experience to enhance their education while in high school and beyond.
