Kyleigh Andrick
Hello! My name is Mrs. Andrick, and I am excited to be your math teacher. My goal is to create a classroom where students feel supported and empowered to become confident, lifelong learners. I believe that understanding the process is just as important as finding the right answer, so we will focus on celebrating the journey of problem-solving. Outside of school, I love to get lost in a good book, beat a challenging video game, and spend quality time with my family. You can always reach me with any questions you may have.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy running—especially ultra marathons—and spending time outdoors hiking and walking. I have two kids in college at West Chester and Bloomsburg, and one in high school at Lower Dauphin. My husband and I love relaxing at our tiny home by the lake, and our new Goldendoodle puppy, Leo, keeps life busy and fun!
