Dr. Kathleen Clesson, NCBT
British Literature and Creative Writing
I spent the bulk of my career at the laboratory schools of Illinois State University, the last 18 years as chair of the English department at University High School. I have been with IVS (and IVHS before it) since its first full year.
I am passionate about my subject area and I love sharing those things with others. And like everyone else here at IVS, I wanted to make a difference.
