My name is Tami Hall. I have been married for 21 years and have an 18-year-old son that graduated from Meridian Technical Charter High School in the spring and will be attending CWI this fall to finish a Networking degree.  My 16-year-old daughter attends Compass Honors High School and is an11^th grader.  She will be taking three classes at Compass and two classes at CWI.  This is my 2^nd year at Compass and 8^th year teaching. I taught at Lewis and Clark Middle School for six years; four years teaching 6^th grade and two years teaching Industrial Technology. I received my Bachelor’s Degree at University of Nevada, Reno in 1996. My family and I moved from Elko, NV, in 1999 so that I could begin my teaching career. My husband still works in Elko, commuting on a weekly basis.  I finished my Master’s Degree in Education, Reading from Northwest Nazarene University in 2008. I am excited about this year at Compass.
