A Message from Ms. Rapp
"Hello, all. I am Ms. Eden, and I would like to express my excitement for the upcoming
semester and my gratitude to the Westmont community for welcoming me. Joining the Westmont
community, learning, and helping educate young minds fills me with delight for the upcoming
semester. As a student teacher this semester, I will be joining Mr. Rutledge from August to
December, helping, teaching, and above all learning from one of Westmont's best and brightest.
Some information about myself is that I am working to obtain a teaching certification in
secondary education social studies from Robert Morris University. I am not originally from
Moon; I was born and raised in Johnstown, dare I say I went to McCort. As a future teacher, I am
dedicated to the craft, and as a lifelong learner, I will put my best foot forward every day.
APUSH, AP Gov, and high-level history classes will always be near and dear to my heart, as I
hope to grow as an educator to someday acquire these esteemed classes. My passion for history
grew during my time at McCort, from learning from Mr. Schellhammer and Mr Bako, and I
know it will reach new heights with the wonderful Mr. Rutledge. I am so excited to join you all
this upcoming semester. If you would like to contact me, please do not hesitate to email me at
[email protected] or Mr. Rutledge at [email protected]"
