Living in Berea, Ohio until the age of eight, Becca Hart moved with her family to Damascus, Or. when her father received a job transfer. Becca's only sibling is a younger brother who is currently headed into the Air Force. Becca grew up playing soccer and T-ball, and participating in competitive gymnastics and dance. Her hard driven sports of gymnastics and dance as a young child caused tendonitis, so she switched to track and field in middle school and then high school. Becca participated in triple jump, long jump, and 100 meter hurdles. Becca graduated from Barlow High School and then was awarded a scholarship to West Point Academy! Attending boot camp in New York for 4 months was "really, really tough." Becca says that she respected the intense physical and emotional challenge, yet also came to realize that it was not the right choice for her. What she is thankful for is that she realized that she can indeed do far more than she ever realized. Becca came back to Damascus and attended Mt. Hood Community College. She became good friends with the track coach at the college. She then transferred to Seattle Univ. and graduated after three years with a Bachelor's degree in English, with a minor in Italian. After graduation, she called her track coach and friend from Mt. Hood Comm. College and asked if he was interested in having her as a Jumps coach. She also became a site supervisor at the college as well. As they say, the rest is history! They ended up dating and in September of 2014, they married. In 2012 Becca started at Concordia, as she had made the decision to become a teacher. She also worked part time as an aide at Powell Valley Elementary School during this time. Becca graduated from Concordia with a Master of Arts in Teaching and an endorsement in English, Social Studies and Health. In Jan. 2013 she began student teaching at the Corbett Schools with Tim Cooper and Victoria Hubler. It was this last year that she began teaching full-time in Corbett at the middle school. Becca says she has a passion for teaching Health, English and Language Arts. She finds that middle schoolers have a fun and wonderful energy and enjoys getting to know each of them better. One thing she appreciates about Corbett is that she gets to stay with a student for three years. This she says, is great for developing trust. A favorite past time of Becca's is reading. She says she is a voracious reader and this past year has read more middle school novels than ever! Becca and her husband currently have a cat, yet no children. Becca laughs that she better think about it soon though- her husband who teaches at Mt. Hood is 15 years older than her!
