Get To Know SHS!
Meet the wonderful and talented staff members of SHS!
Amanda (Mandy) DelliColli
What is your role at Souhegan?
English Teacher
How long have you been with Souhegan?
Since 2006--in my 17th year of teaching at SHS.
What do you love about your job?
Getting to know my students and hearing their perspectives about the content we're covering. I also love working with all of my colleagues. I get to spend my days around insightful students and adults, so that's great!
What do you like to do outside of work?
Outside of work, I love to spend time with my two children, two dogs, family and friends. I like reading (obviously), listening to podcasts, playing board games, travel and staying active in some capacity.
If you were given one wish what would it be?
For my children to be happy and kind their whole lives (and to be able to teleport to wherever I want to go).
Do you have a favorite quote or mantra?
This too shall pass.
