Andrea Wiersma - Deaf Ed Teacher
I am the teacher for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing at Holland High School. I have a BA from Bowling Green State University as an Intervention Specialist for the Hearing Impaired and a MA from Grand Valley State University in Learning Disabilities. I LOVE my job as a Deaf/HoH teacher and work to educate, challenge, inspire my students to do their personal best. You are welcome to visit our classroom!
