All About Mrs.Houtz
About Me
My name is Zoe Houtz. I live in Spring Mills with my husband and my two dogs. This is my second year teaching at Penns Valley Elementary and my sixth year teaching. I previously taught Kindergarten for a half year at PVE, 3rd grade for a year and a half at PVE, 2nd grade for two years at Mifflin County School District, and Kindergarten for two years at Smith Elementary School in Baumholder, Germany. I am excited to be a part of the great things that are happening at Penns Valley this year! It is a privilege to serve as your students’ Kindergarten teacher for the 2024-2025 school year. I am looking forward to a year full of learning and growth!
Education
In May 2017, I graduated from Messiah College with a bachelors of science in Early Childhood Education with a preschool-fourth grade teaching certification and minor in teaching English as a Second Language. I believe that education is an active process that opens doors for meaningful and authentic learning experiences.
