Mr. McCausland ([email protected]):
I'm in my 7th year teacher here at Ben Franklin. I graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a degree in Kinesiology and Sports Studies. While at Eastern I played Division I soccer and also coached a few youth soccer teams. My wife is also a teacher here at Ben Franklin and we have three children Dakota, McCoy and Oakley. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family and anything to do with the outdoors; hiking, kayaking, and fishing.

Hello! I am entering my 29th year of teaching. I have taught K, 2nd, 4th, 4th and 5th combined. This is my second year teaching PE at Ben Franklin and I'm honored to be here! I graduated from Illinois State University and received my masters from National Louis University. I went on to receive MA +60 from College of DuPage, Chapman University, Benedictine College, and Lewis University where I received my middle school endorsement and my Physical Education Endorsement. I live in Hanover Park with my husband Bob, my daughters Briana, Natalie, and dogs Mickey and Minnie. I have a passion for living a healthy lifestyle and am excited to pass on the importance being healthy to your kids.
