Magistra Adrienne Moran

Salvete omnes! I am so excited to begin my fifth year at Trailside Middle School teaching Latin II. In addition to teaching at Trailside, I also will be teaching Latin I and Latin II at J.L. Simpson Middle School. I am so very excited to work with students to build our Latin community - one that will last for years to come. I am also very excited to have the opportunity to share my passion for Latin with my students, showing them how to not only understand Latin but also learn to think about language more deeply and complexly. 

My own Latin journey began back in middle school, leading me to take Latin all through high school, pursue my degree in Latin in college, and finally become a Latin teacher. My love for the language was truly cemented when I attended Governor's Latin Academy the summer after my sophomore year of high school, but it all started with a great Latin teacher in eighth grade.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with family, settling in with a cup of coffee and a good book, and crafting.

Here's to an exciting year of learning more about language, ourselves, and one another. Valete!
