I am enthused to begin my first year teaching at Divine Providence. I am Tina Southerton and teach 2nd grade. I am a devoted Catholic growing up in Norridge, Illinois now residing in Des Plaines with my husband and two beautiful children. I graduated from Northeastern Illinois University in 2002, I have been teaching elementary education ever since. I also have an ESL endorsement.

I believe in teaching the whole child preparing each student academically, socially and religiously. I am committed to helping my students learn, grow and prosper. I am looking forward to an amazing school year.
