Biography
Hello, my name is Hilary Fort and I am lucky enough to have taught all three years at Edmunds. I grew up in Ankeny, Iowa and attended college at Wichita State University where I studied and received my bachelors in education. I’ve always had a true passion for working with students and watching them grow and thrive in the classroom. I love learning and truly believe that it is a life-long skill.
I am the middle child; my younger brother plays baseball and goes to college at Northwest Missouri State. My older is sister is married and has two beautiful boys who I am lucky enough to call my nephews. I have two loving and supportive parents who like to spend time traveling together. I am looking forward to an exciting year and I hope to make more faces familiar!
