Hello My Name Is...

Christina Escamilla

Welcome to my webpage!  I am a Chicago native, Hoosier grad, and have been a proud Patriot for 7 years.  I graduated from Indiana University with a BS in Social Studies Education.  I then started a Master's Program by teaching in Australia.  I enjoy traveling and learning more about the world to better inform my World History students.

In my time here at IHS, I have coached the swim team, been the student council sponsor, assisted the cheerleading squad, and went to PrideTown.   I also sponsored the Close-up Trip to Washington, D.C. for four years.  Just last December, I completed my Master's in Bilingual Education and will continue taking Spanish courses through ASU. One of my personal goals is to become bilingual!

For the past few semsters I have had student teachers in the classrom. I enjoy mentoring other teachers that are persuing a career in education. This year, I continue to teach two World History Classes first and second hour and then I am the local mentor at Independence. 

Please feel free to contact  me by email or phone.  It is an absolute pleasure working with the students and staff here at Independence and I welcome parent and community communication at anytime!
