Kortlang, April (Social Science) / Welcome

	Ms. April Kortlang Department: Social Studies Email: april.kortlang@lcps.org Rooms: TBA Planning Blocks: 1st and 8th

Welcome to my page, parents and students! My name is Ms. April Kortlang, and I am happy to be in my third year here at Freedom High School. This year, I am teaching four blocks of World History II and one block of Personal Finance/Economics. I have been an English Language Learner teacher in the past, so I often get students that have another language other than English as their first language in my classes. My husband Andrew and I have two dogs, Banjo and Rebel, and a baby on the way! I enjoy hiking, cooking, and hanging out at our home near the river. I have been in a few bands, most recently a 90s cover band, where I sang, and played guitar and piano. I also enjoy reading and I am currently writing my first fiction book. I graduated from Princess Anne High School in Virginia Beach in 1999. I enjoyed chorus and community service. After taking the long road through college, I earned my Bachelor's degree in political science from George Mason University in 2010. I earned my Master's degree in international relations from Old Dominion University in December of 2015. I am happy to support you this year in any way I can! I am available by email, and I hope to see all of your faces soon in person.
