Hello! My name is Jennifer Kuperman.  I'm originally from Illinois, born in Peoria, then moved to the Chicago suburbs when I was nine.  I'm a born and raised Cubs fan as well as Disney lover having visited the original in California, WDW in Florida and Disneyland Paris multiple times I've lost count. I received my bachelor of science in education degree from Illinois State University in 1994.  I moved to Texas in 1999 and have taught in FBISD nearly exclusively since. I've been married to my husband Steve since 1997 and we have two daughters, Grace and Sarah.  Both of whom went thru FBISD schools, BBE, SMS and Travis High School.  Grace graduated in 2016 and Sarah graduated in 2020, with the second half of her senior cut short due to the Pandemic. Grace moved to London in 2016 to attend college and is still there and has completed her second Masters in Law.  Sarah is attending college here in Texas and working.  The majority of my classroom teaching experience has been in teaching Science, fifth through eighth grade.  I was a Science lab teacher for grades K-5 for 4 years and when the Science Lab changed to STEM Lab in 2017 I continued in the Outclass rotation. I was previously at Oyster Creek before joining Neill in 2019. Whether I teach Science Lab or STEM Lab,  I have found that this is the best job ever! I LOVE Science as much as I LOVE Disney and the Cubs, so that's saying A LOT! My hope in teaching in the lab is to instill a love and enthusiasm for science in my students everyday they enter the lab.  When I'm not teaching I'm either running, reading, or traveling....and not just to Disney, with Grace in London we've traveled to Europe several times and are always planning our next adventure somewhere. Be sure and ask me where I'm traveling next the next time you see me around campus!
