Our Language Arts Teachers

Mr. Tom O'Grady

I grew up in central Vermont and graduated from Northfield High School! I love the outdoors, I am an avid hunter and fisherman, and one of my passions is hiking and exploring in nature. I graduated from college in upstate New York, and then traveled the country, eventually ending up in Denver. While in Colorado I met my future wife, and after six years of living in the Mountain State we decided it was time to move back to Vermont to get married and start a family. Shortly after returning home I was able to obtain a job at NMHS, and five years later here I am!

Ms. Ann Bushey

I grew up in California, graduated from high school in the enormous San Diego Public School system, went to college at the University of Montana, was in the Peace Corps in the Philippines for three years, worked as a mountain climbing guide based in the Adirondacks for seven years, then moved to Vermont and became a teacher and a parent- two jobs I love.

Ms. Lyndsay Loiselle

I grew up moving all over the world with my family, but since college, Vermont has had my heart.  My husband, daughter, son, and I all love exploring the many wonders Vermont has to offer and are happy to have made the Green Mountain state our home.  In my down time, I love to travel, cook, be with my family, and read a wonderful book just for the fun of it.  I look forward to a great year, instilling a love of reading and writing, into your children.
