Welcome to Ms. Dusing's 1st Grade Page!

Welcome to the First Grade!  My name is Julie Dusing, lucky teacher of 1A.  I have a lot of enthusiasm about teaching children, encouraging their love of learning, and helping them grow in their Catholic faith!  This is my fourth year teaching 1st Grade at IHM.  Before teaching 1st, I taught Kindergarten and was responsible for the RTI (Response to Intervention) program at St. Pius X in Edgewood, KY.  I was a Kindergarten Aide at St. Timothy in Union, KY where I fell in love with teaching.  
Along with my lifelong love of learning, I enjoy sharing my love of dance, art, music, and theater with my students.  I earned my degree at Stephens College in Columbia, MO and I am completing my Masters from the University of the Cumberlands this December.  My 16 year old son Alex, husband Doug, and our dog Rocky live in Union, KY.  I grew up in Hendersonville, TN.  I’m looking forward to a wonderful school year at IHM!
