Ms. Carol Redell

Carol has been on the faculty of Downers Grove South for the past twelve years. She teaches United States History and Issues in Contemporary Law. While working at South she has been very active in the teacher’s association serving in numerous positions. She is currently the district representative and has attended both state and national conventions on numerous occasions. She is a well-respected teacher who is willing to try new experiences. She is currently working on community service projects for South High students.

Ms. Martha Merlios

Martha has taught at both North and South over the past twenty years and is a well-traveled expert in these kinds of projects. Having visited the Soviet Union with students on several trips, as well as traveling throughout Europe last summer, she brings a multitude of personal experiences with her. Martha Teaches World Studies at North High presently and is the Vice President of the teacher’s association.

Like Carol, Martha wants to learn more about an ancient culture while at the same time tying the experience through the Internet. The opportunity to tie the past to the future is quite alive in this project.

Mr. Bill Hector

The non-travelling part of this project is Bill Hector who is serving as the Program Director and will be one of the hosts for our Armenian guests. Bill has taught for thirty years, half of them in this district. It was Bill who received the invitation to participate and has been the principal organizer behind the scenes.
