Hello!  My name is Ms. Sheila McDermott and I teach 11th and 12th grade English here at Lewiston-Altura High School.  I am originally from New England, where I was born and raised along New Hampshire's mountains and seacoast.  I earned my teaching degree from the University of New Hampshire where I majored in English, After earning my BA in English, I continued my studies and received a MA in English Education.   I taught in New Hampshire before moving to Wyoming where I taught high school English, journalism and photography while my husband worked on his PhD in structural Geology.  When he accepted a job at Winona State College, we moved to the Midwest and at that time I took a job teaching English at the college level and remained there for 20 years.     While I enjoyed my tenure in higher ed, I am thrilled to have been asked to teach at Lewiston High School, I am enjoying working with the students of the LAHS community.  I am always happy to discuss your student with you.   Thank you,   Sheila McDermott 9-12 English Teacher Email: smcdermott@lewalt.k12.mn.us
