I am a career high school math teacher and am in my 24th year in the Vigo County School Corporation. I've taught three years at Terre Haute South Vigo, 15 years at West Vigo High School, and am in my sixth year at Terre Haute North Vigo. Terre Haute is the education center of West Central Indiana, and overall, education is our biggest employer and our most important product. I know first hand the challenge that our families and our young people face, and I will fight to make sure that education funding for our schools, Indiana State University and Ivy Tech are the first priority. We have a shortage of teachers here and statewide and that must be addressed. I have seen the decline in the teaching profession and it must be reversed.
