Hello! 

My name is Elisabeth Durbin. I am so excited to be a part of your student's academic career. This is my first year teaching, and I am so thrilled to be at Hillsboro Junior High School. I anticipate a great school year filled with many fond memories and ah-ha moments. 

This past May, I graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with my bachelor's in Special Education. Although I am certified to teach K-21, I am most passionate about teaching the Junior High levels. 

I am not originally from Hillsboro, but I have a lot of great memories surrounding the community and Old Settlers. In many ways, this is a home away from home for me. 

I look forward to collaborating with you in regard to your student's academic career. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me through my school email (edurbin@hillsboroschools.net) or through the school's phone number (217-532-3742). 

I appreciate you all!
