Mrs. Lulka is a new math teacher at Hopkinton High school. She teaches grade nine through twelve. Lulka grew up in Mass, but she has also lived in New York City, and near the Grand Canyon. She has taught in the Bow, Manchester and Concord schools.
There are many reasons for her love of math, one of them being that all her grandparents were immigrants who came over to America with no money. Her mom, her dad and all her uncles had really good math teachers throughout school and went to college on scholarships. Now they all have great jobs as engineers and computer programmers. Another reason she got into teaching math is she enjoys finding patterns in things and math deals with a lot of different patterns.
So far, she likes Hopkinton as a community because she has more of an opportunity to get to know every student individually. She hopes to stay in Hopkinton as long as she can. "I have made good friends with all the teachers in the math department and the staff at the school and in all my classes. The students are great."
