Hello, my name is Monica Dutcher. This is my fourteenth year teaching in Lawrence Public Schools and my first year at Hillcrest. I was formerly a teacher at Pinckney Elementary but I am excited to start a new journey here at Hillcrest. I am originally from Wyoming but I decided to move to Lawrence to attend the University of Kansas. I graduated from the University of Kansas in 2010 with my Bachelor's of Science in Education. I am currently working on my Master's from Emporia State University.
