Personal:
This is my first year as a certified teacher, but my 14th year working in education.  I was the guidance secretary for eight years at Pocomoke High School.  For the past six years I have been working as an educational assistant and running the computer lab at PHS where I taught the television production class, Warriors Communications.

I was born on Long Island in New York and lived there until 1977.  I moved to Pocomoke in August of 1977.  I married my husband, Dean Brittingham, in 1982 and lived in Sign Post, Virginia until 1990 when we moved to Stockton, Maryland, where we currently reside. We have three children - Lynda, John and Jamey Brittingham.  Lynda is a graduate of Mount Olive College and works as a Special Events Coordinator for the Town of Ocean City.  John is a senior at Bloomsburg University and Jamey is a sophomore at Radford University.  My maiden name is Darcy.  I have two sisters (Kathy Roberts and Doreen Howard) and three brothers (Tom, Tim and Kevin Darcy). 

  I am excited to be an English teacher and to have the opportunity to use my television production background in a school with lots of equipment and high tech gadgets.  I love working with teenagers and look forward to getting to know the students in Northern Worcester County.

My favorite quote is, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."  Phillipians 4:13

My greatest accomplishment is getting my college degree after many years of going to school part-time. I completed my college degree while working full-time and raising our busy children. I am most proud that our children have grown up to be kind, responsible, and hard-working people. 

Education:

Bachelor of Arts in English from Salisbury University
Graduated Magna Cum Laude

Communication Arts/Yearbook
Students will be broadcasting the morning announcements and a 30-minute television show on the local cable channel.  Students will also create the 2007-08 yearbook.  All of my students will learn about the art of presentation.  They will be presenting themselves in a professional manner through the Communication Arts class, and they will produce and present a yearbook which is well designed for our students and school community.
