About Mrs. R

Professional Bio:

I was born and raised a Hempfield Spartan, but happily became Norwin - "knighted" in 2013. After graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and Rhetorical Studies and a Masters Degree in Education with a concentration in English from Duquesne University, I gladly accepted a teaching position in Norwin School District.

Personal Information:

I am married to Mr. Drew Rutkowski, a 3rd-grade teacher at Hahntown Elementary School. We have a daughter named Addison, a son named Asher, and a Golden Lab - Buddy.

Aside from spending time with my family, I'm an avid Pittsburgh sports fan, and I love reading, listening to music, snowboarding, golfing, and playing volleyball. I am the assistant coach for the Norwin Lady Knights High School volleyball team.
