Hello! My name is Shannon Herzog. I am blessed to live such an extraordinary life. I have two boys, Connor (14) and Cade (11), a great husband named Mike, and a dragon of a dog named Laylo who provides unconditional love to our family. I love doing anything in the water including wakeboarding, paddle boarding, river rafting, swimming or riding waves. I also love hiking, walking, backpacking and sleeping under the stars. I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, yoga and connecting with friends. I had a magical childhood set in the small mountain town of Frisco, Colorado and love to visit whenever I can.

 

​I love teaching middle school at Renaissance Secondary! It is here that I am inspired to continue learning and build communities rich in connection and shared experiences. I believe that the pursuit of challenge and innovation keeps the relationship between teaching and learning fresh and alive. I have my MA in Reading from UNC, which has cultivated a passion for connecting with kids through storytelling, reading and writing.
