Hello, I am Henni Marek and I am a math teacher at Plymouth High School. I have been teaching at the Park for seven years. Teaching is a second carrier which started in England at Magdalen College School, Brackley (www.magdalen.northants.sch.uk/). This is my 15th year of teaching and a life long dream come true. After 'retiring' from opticianry I was a stay at home mom while pursuing a degree in mathematics and secondary education. Born and raised in Germany, I now have been living in the USA for more than 30 years, with the exception of living in Northampton, UK for about four years. There I was able to finish my studies, student teach and complete my first teaching assignment.

One of my goals this year is, when working with struggling students in my support class, to continue to integrate effective instructional strategies to engage all students in learning and reaching their potential.

My husband, David, and I have two grown sons. Philip, the oldest is living in South Carolina, where we like to visit him as often as possible, especially during the Michigan winter. Peter, our youngest son is currently living with us and we enjoy his company, he is an excellent cook. Traveling is one of our passions and keeps us connected with our families and friends.
