As the school year turns to October, many members of the BHS community may have already had the opportunity to meet all the new teachers and staff at Branford High School. To help introduce the new staff to BHS, The Branford Buzz began featuring the new teachers last week. Over the coming days, The Buzz will be publishing Q & A interviews with all the new staff members.
Today’s feature is on Mrs. Daria Ague, who is a science teacher.
Subject: Chemistry (standard) and forensics
Classroom location: F29
Why did you become a teacher?
I worked in schools as a paraprofessional and building substitute for many years. After a while I realized that I should just go back to school and become a certified teacher!
What is your background and how did you end up here at BHS?
I taught middle school at a variety of Catholic schools in the area, then I was hired at Mauro-Sheridan in New Haven to teach seventh grade science. After three years there, I decided to try to teach at the high school level. That decision brought me to BHS.
What do you like about BHS?
Everyone has been very welcoming and helpful.
Tell me about your family or your interests.
I have two daughters that graduated from BHS.
What is a favorite book, song, movie, or TV show and why?
I recently discovered a tv show called “Leverage”. I enjoy that it has formerly dishonest people doing good things for others. It also incorporates a lot of humor.
