Deb Coon recently retired from Northampton High School where she spent 16 years as a band director learning from her students all about teaching and music. She also worked for a year and a half as a para-professional; something she recommends to anyone considering a career in education. Deb lives on in Easthampton, MA with her wife and two dogs as she embarks on her new life of sleeping in, reading, hiking, and watching more episodes of the Office than any sane person should.
