Welcome to our blog!

Get to know Mrs. Darragh!



Hello! I am so excited to be one of your 7th grade Math teachers! This is my fifth year at Wilkins Junior High and as a Vithar House teacher. I got my bachelor's degree from Saint Xavier University and my master's degree from Governors State University. This past summer I got married, so this is my first year being Mrs. Darragh! You might hear people refer to me as Ms. Delaney a lot this year so don't be confused! I have a puppy, Jebadiah, who is almost 9 months. He is a crazy puppy and loves to play fetch and go for walks. I also have two cats, Charlie, who is 3 and Bailey, who is 6 years old. Charlie, the white one, is crazy and likes to attack Bailey, who is super sweet. However, Jebadiah loves to terrorize the cats, so my house is always crazy! On my spare time my husband and I like to work on things around our house, which we bought last November. We also love to go to both of our parent's cottages in Michigan and Indiana. I also love to watch movies, hang out with friends, and spend time with my nephew, Noah, who will be 2 in November. So that is Mrs. Darragh in a nutshell!
