Welcome to Billy Mills Middle School!  My name is Lora Hardesty.  This is my 20th year teaching, but my 8th year here at Billy Mills.  I taught 4th and 5th grade in Olathe for 12 years.  When I’m not teaching, I am spending time  with my family.  My husband Scott and I have three children - Hudson, who is 14 years old, Harrison, who is 12 years old, and Halle, who is 10 years old.  They keep us very busy.  I also enjoy baking, running, and being with friends and family.

Please feel free to call or email should you have any questions or concerns.  I am best reached by email.  I’m looking forward to getting to know you as a learner, and as a person-get ready for a wonderful year!
