She graduated from Northeastern State University with a Bachelors in Science, and was a Delta Zeta! When asked what she likes about Claremore Public Schools best, she said, “I chose to teach at CPS because I loved it so much when I was a student here! I loved being a zebra and feel like I got the best education possible. I knew that my teachers truly cared for me and wanted me to succeed, and I want to be able to do that for my students! I just moved back to Claremore for the first time in 6 years, so I’m excited to get more involved in the community! ” She chose teaching because “I want to share my love for my subject with my students. At an early age, having teachers here at CPS who were passionate about their chosen subjects made class and learning much more enjoyable and fun! I think it’s so important for students to understand and appreciate science because the whole world around us is made up of it!” Ms. Dooley enjoys anything outdoors, whether hiking, golf, camping, gardening or even walking on a nice day. She also loves crafting and making things for others! She has been to 30 states and plans to check the last 20 off her list.
