7th grade is an exciting time of great change for students.  As I'm always telling them, "You're closer to college than kindergarten," and it shows in their increasing maturity through the year. Even though I have taught 4th- 8th graders, I think 7th graders are the best! 

This is my 24th year teaching and my 17th year teaching in Loudoun County Public Schools.  I have a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s degree in education, both from the University of Virginia (Wahoowa!).  I have been lucky to work with the wonderful students and families at Harper Park in all 3 grades, and as part of both the Social Studies and English departments.  History 7 is my favorite, though. 

Please email me with any questions or concerns that you have about your student or history class. jill.turner@lcps.org

I am looking forward to another fantastic year with the students at Harper Park!
