ABOUT

My name is Mollie Catherine Blunt. I currently teach middle school in Shreveport, LA. Also, I am the accreditation coordinator at my school. Enjoy reading more about me, my research interests, and other interesting information related to my studies.



I teach middle school social studies at First Baptist Church School (FBCS). This is my second year to teach at this school. Prior to teach at FBCS, I finished the year at another private school in town following my graduation from Louisiana Tech. In addition to teaching, I sponsor the National Junior Honor Society, coach the middle school golf team, and serve on the Student of the Year committee along with other committees. 

I began my Doctoral degree in June 2014 following graduation from Louisiana Tech with my Master's degree in May 2014. I have chosen the Educational Leadership concentration. My future goal is to either gain a leadership position or pursue opportunities to teach at the college level.

My research interests are centered around K-12 school settings. While working with these students, the benefits that students can gain from the educational environment are vitally important. As I begin to research for my dissertation, I plan to look at the relationship between extracurricular activities and success in the classroom. In addition, I will look at benefits from the activities beyond classroom success. These benefits may include self-growth, increased interactions with peers, and numerous opportunities for additional involvement.
