Everyone knows and thinks of Ms. Moore as the high school librarian, but she has actually only been in the profession for 12 years. One of those years was spent as an elementary librarian at Ambridge. Before becoming a librarian, Ms. Moore was a biology teacher at Penn Hills. She quit to have children and stay home with them when they were young. When she was ready to go back, so much had changed in biology that she would have had to take new classes, so she decided to instead get a second master’s degree in library science. "I’ve always loved books, but I especially loved reading to my children, especially when they were little," she said. After she retires, Ms. Moore plans on travelling and seeing a lot of her “seven and a half grandchildren” (the half is Ms. Moore’s not-yet-born grandchild, who is due to arrive in July). The biggest change Ms. Moore has seen while at FHS has been the switch to block scheduling and the 1:1 program. "The library was the computer center of the school before every student had a laptop," she said. Of everything at FHS, she said she will miss the people the most. Mrs. Rich has been working at Freedom for 36 years and has seen many changes during her time here. When she first began teaching, there were three full-time home economics teachers. “When I started, the funding for home economics was tremendous,” and the funding slowly declined, she said. When Mrs. Rich first started, the middle school was called the junior high and it was grades 7-9. She said that she has seen countless other changes as well, including the name of her department changing from home economics to family consumer sciences. She got into home economics because she found consumer rights fascinating and liked cooking and child development. “The subject matter is things that everyone needs to know through life,” Mrs. Rich said. She said that the best part of her job was “when you see enthusiasm from a student and they share that excitement.” Mrs. Rich said she is most going to miss “interactions with students and staff.”
