My name is Kerin Downey, and I teach a variety of English courses at Northview High School:  AP Language and Composition, Bible as/in Literature, Pre-AP sophomore English, etymology, speech, and dual credit advanced speech.  My degrees—bachelor’s and master’s—are both from ISU, and I have a Bible certificate from Cedarville College (now university) in Ohio.  My husband and I have raised our two children here in Brazil where we have spent the majority of our lives.
