7th Grade Genetically Engineered Smiley Faces

About our Teacher

Hello, my name is Denny Hargett and this is my second year to teach 5th through 8th grade science at St. Philip School.  I am also the homeroom teacher for the 5th grade.  I grew up in Mt. Vernon and graduated from Mt. Vernon High School in 1967.  I attended Purdue University until my family moved to Florida.  I graduated from the University of Florida majoring in Wildlife Ecology and was commissioned an officer in the US Air Force in 1971.  I retired from active duty in 1992 and moved back here to be near family.  I've been happily married for 37 years to my wife Jenifer.  We have 3 grown sons, Nathan, Nick, and Tim.  I worked part-time at Hovey Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area for 6 years and substitute taught in Posey County beginning in 2001 before I started the USI "Transition-to-Teaching" program.  I look forward to teaching the 5th through 8th graders this year.
