7 Red

Mrs. Devine

I grew up in Crystal Lake, Illinois and attended Crystal Lake Central.  I graduated from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville with my degree in education.  I started in District 15 in 1993 as an 8th grade social studies and science teacher and moved into 7th grade in 1998.  I love American history and introducing students to the stories of our country’s founding and growth.  

I live in McHenry with my husband and 2 sons and our dog, Max.  I love to travel and see historic places with my family.  One of my favorite vacations was to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills.  I love to read and play games (board and card, not video).  My students realize quickly that I am a fan of Snoopy and a good joke! 

Mr. Kilchenman

My name is Dan Kilchenman, and I am the 7th grade Red math teacher.  I graduated from the University of Illinois in 2012 and began teaching at McHenry Middle School in 2012.  I really enjoy teaching algebra concepts to the students and my favorite day in math class is Pi Day.  I coach basketball at the middle school.  I am a big Cubs, Bulls, and Bears fan.

Mrs. Willems

Hello, my name is Kari Willems. I am the 7 Red Science Teacher. I grew up in Spring Grove and graduated from Richmond Burton High School. I attended the University of Illinois at Chicago and earned a bachelor’s degree in secondary education with an emphasis on middle school science and social studies.  This summer, I started working on my Master's Degree in Instructional Design and Technology through the American College of Education. 

I live in Spring Grove with my husband, my (almost) 6-year-old son, my 4.5-year-old daughter, our German Shepherd, Brooks, and our cat, Tonks. In my spare time, I am an avid reader and an occasional crocheter, baker, and runner. Once school is out, I can be found camping with my family and exploring new places. I love all things Harry Potter and Marvel. This is my seventh year at MMS, and my fifth year teaching on the 7 Red Team.  I am looking forward to another wonderful year with the fantastic 7 Red students!

Ms. Campisano

My name is Robyn Campisano, and I am the resource teacher for the seventh grade red team.  I graduated from Illinois State University where I earned a degree in Elementary Education with middle school endorsements in Language Arts and Social Sciences, and I also have a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Saint Mary.  After teaching at the elementary level for many years,  I earned my Learning Behavioral Specialist 1 endorsement from Greenville College and became a special education teacher. 

I grew up close-by in Mundelein, Illinois.  In my free time I enjoy going on adventures with my daughter, Riley.  Swimming, fishing, reading, arts & crafts, and playing soccer keep us busy!  I cheer for the Chicago Cubs & Bears, and the MMS Trojans!  I am looking forward to getting to know all of the students, and having an amazing school year.
