Renée Hance became a fifth grade teacher at Good Shepherd in January 2000. She received undergraduate degrees in Elementary Education and Spanish from Washburn University. The PTO's tuition assistance program helped Renée as she earned her Master's degree in school administration from Baker University.
Renée enjoys being a staff member at Good Shepherd. She knows that the support of parents and other teachers helps make her job wonderful. She finds that she fits well into her fifth grade teaching position because she enjoys seeing her students develop their own personalities and appreciates their sense of humor.
Renée likes to travel! While in college, she studied in Spain. She has spent two summers teaching English in China. In 2004, she traveled with Good Shepherd's delegation to visit our sister community of Buen Pastor, El Salvador. During summer vacation, the Hance family enjoys visiting national parks, camping, canoeing, and trout fishing.
