Hillary O’Connell is a first grade teacher at MPE. This will be her third year teaching in Mahomet. Before that, Mrs. O’Connell taught first grade for ten years in Champaign. She lives in Mahomet with her three children: Emerie (10), Theo (3), Lincoln (1) and husband. As a family they like to play outside, explore new places and play board and card games.

Mrs. O'Connell is excited to begin the 2020 school year. She and her students are going to make this the ZEST year ever by taking "lemons" and making lemonade!
