For families that may not know me yet, my name is Shariann Forker. I am a graduate of Purdue University. Prior to teaching at Lake Hills, I had the great fortune of visiting, observing, and volunteering in various schools across Northwest Indiana for over 15 years. I also worked as a teacher in La Porte for two years. This will be my eleventh year here at Lake Hills. I spent three years as a 4th grade teacher, three years teaching 5th grade, and this is my fifth year teaching 6th grade.
A little bit about me. I live in La Porte with my husband. I have two sons and one granddaughter. Both my boys have graduated from LaPorte High School and are continuing their education through trades apprentice programs. My family stays active by taking lots of walks in our neighborhood, and we love to walk the trails at local county parks. We currently have two beagles and one cat. They are definitely a huge part of our lives. My hobbies are reading, traveling, and drawing. Personally, I love art and hope to bring many wonderful art projects into my lessons when applicable. I believe all students are important and deserve a quality education.
I am excited to begin my eleventh year teaching at Lake Hills STEM Magnet School. I am looking forward to the 2024 - 2025 school year. This is my 5th year teaching 6th grade. I am excited about filling this school year with learning and fun.
