Hello, my name is Maureen Bingham and this is my second year teaching 4^th grade at St. Thomas the Apostle School. I teach science and social studies to both 4th grade classes as well as religion, math and handwriting to my homeroom.  

Before pursuing a teaching degree, I worked in the financial department for several large corporations, most recently as Controller for a prepress printing company. After volunteering in my son’s first grade classroom, I thought that a career in education was the perfect fit for me. I was a 5th grade aide at St. Thomas for 2 years as well as a Learning Resource aide for 1 year. 

I have always loved school and am dedicated to lifelong learning. I have a BBA from the University of Notre Dame in Accounting and French. I also have an MBA from DePaul University in Marketing and International Business. I received a Masters of Arts in Teaching from National Louis University in 2006.  

Currently, I am taking courses to complete my Illinois State Board of Education Middle School Endorsement in Language Arts. I am already endorsed in Math, Social Studies, Foreign Language and Business. 

I live in Lake in the Hills with my husband of 21 years and our two children. My daughter is a sophomore at Marian Central Catholic High School and my son is in 7^th grade here at St. Thomas. When I am not at school, I enjoy reading, music, Notre Dame Football, theater, and attending my children’s plays and sporting events.  

I look forward to working with your 4^th grade son or daughter this year.
