Hi, my name is Kelly Blomquist. I started working at Highland Middle School in 1996. I teach Reading for Standards for 7th and 8th grade here at Highland Middle School.  In addition, I co-teach ELA 8 and ELA 7.  I am originally from Chicago, Illinois and I moved to St. Paul in 1993 after graduating from The University of Iowa. Go Hawkeyes!!!  I have two boys of my own that keep me busy, but in my spare time I like relaxing at the cabin, traveling with my family or reading a good book. I look forward to meeting and working with your son/daugher this year. Please feel free to contact me at kelly.blomquist@spps.org or 651-744-3441, with any questions or concerns.
