My name is Meredith Hegwein and I am on the first-grade team at Hubbell Elementary. This will be my 16th year teaching in Des Moines. I’ve taught first grade, second grade and been an instructional coach. I graduated from the University of Iowa in 2006 with a BA in Education and a minor in dance. I received my Masters in Culturally Responsive Leadership and Instruction from Drake University in 2017. I live in Johnston with my husband and two children, Lily and Phillip. I love spending time outside, reading, and attending Lily and Phillip’s sporting events and activities. I am very excited to be part of the Hubbell Hawks!
