Little Known Facts

"Ms. Schaible, you're crazy!," said one of my students daily last year.
"Why are you always happy?," asked others countlessly throughout the year.

So, what do you think about me so far?  My response to the students was 
always the same, "Would you rather I be happy and energetic or grumpy and 
moody?  There are two ways to face the day...mad or happy, and I opt for the 
latter."


I consider myself a Texan, although I was born in the northeast.  Most of my 
early years were spent in Pennsylvania, until 1984 when my parents divorced 
and I moved to Texas.  Central Texas has been my home since 1991, when my 
family moved to San Marcos.  The purple and white Striking Rattlers of San 
Marcos is my high school alma mater with the maroon and gold 
Bobcats of Texas State University rounding out my secondary education.  

In December of 2001, I graduated from Texas State with a BA in English and a 
minor in Medieval-Renaissance.  I then spent the next four years in Ohio 
supporting my husband in the military.  In the spring of 2005 I returned to 
Central Texas and began teaching at my alma mater.  After one year in San 
Marcos I decided to accept a teaching position at Lockhart...where I have 
been ever since.  

Some activities I enjoy when I'm not working include: cooking food, reading 
books, playing musical instruments, spending time with family, and just 
relaxing.

Mission For The Class

Create life long learners through exploration and language.  

Junior years is by far the most stressful year for many high school 
students.  While encouraging my students to excel in school and life, I want 
to provide a safe haven where they can think freely and feel appreciated, 
without concerns for outside stimuli.  Thoughtful and well-developed writing 
will be the focus in class...so be prepared.
