Welcome to 7th grade English Language Arts! My name is Amanda Amiel and this will be my ninth year teaching. I am thrilled to be at Hillcrest Middle School. My sons were students here and loved it as much as I do. I am an Arizona State University graduate. (Goooo Devils!) I am certified to teach grades kindergarten through eighth and am highly qualified in Middle Grades English and Early Childhood Education. I also carry endorsements in Structured English Immersion and Mild to Moderate Disabilities in Special Education for grades K-12. I have two wonderful sons, one is a sophomore at NAU (Goooo Jacks!) and my youngest is a junior at Mountain Ridge High School. I have been happily married to my high school sweetheart for twenty-two years. I am so excited to get to know your student and help them grow and improve this year.
