UConn blue must be in their DNA! Meet the Hale family of Clinton, Conn.  They gathered at the Neag School last spring to celebrate the achievements of Carolyn (left). She graduated from our Integrated Bachelor’s/Master’s Teacher Education Program with an MA in curriculum and instruction. As part of our dual degree program, she earned both a BS in education and a BA in biology in 2008. Now she is teaching science at Woodrow Wilson Middle School in Middletown.

Her sister, Rebekah (right), graduated from the same program in 2006 with a master’s in curriculum and instruction having earned a bachelor’s in special education in 2005. She is a special education teacher at Burr Elementary School in Haddam.

Also in 2005, their dad, Robert, graduated from the Neag School’s Executive Leadership Program. He is the principal of Westbrook High School. Their mom, Jill, graduated in 1982 from the Neag School with a BS in elementary education and is an assistant principal at Polson Middle School in Madison.
