About Miss O'Neill

     This is my fifth year teaching 5th grade here at Waggoner. I am an Arizona State University graduate.  Go Devils!  I am currently working on my Masters Degree in Language and Literacy at A.S.U. Education is an extremely important aspect of my life because I consider myself to be a life long learner.   I am so excited to be teaching 5th grade again this year.  I know it will be an amazing year of learning and growing together as Waggoner Wildcats.
