We are happy to introduce Abbie Pedigo, the new music teacher at Northside Elementary. Ms. Pedigo attended Western Illinois University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in music education.

"I am so excited to be a part of the Geneseo school district and teach at Northside,” said Ms. Pedigo. “I have heard amazing things about the school, district, and community. I strive to inspire a love of music in all my students and can't wait to get started!"

We are excited to welcome Stacey Anderson, our new cross categorical teacher at Geneseo High School. Mrs. Anderson graduated from St. Ambrose University and later earned a master’s degree in special education from Western Governors University. She spent 16 years working in mental and behavioral healthcare before teaching for two years in split building roles as a resource teacher in Moline.

“I am looking forward to being at the high school and helping kids know and reach their potential,” said Mrs. Anderson. “I am the type of teacher that understands that kids need to be met where they are and sometimes that looks different for each learner in the room. I hope to build some roots in this community and help students feel confidence in the classroom that may not have always been easy for them. When kids leave high school I hope they feel like they got out of school what they wanted and I hope to be a part of that success.”
