Meet Ms. Kozak: Bellevue High School’s Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, STEAM, and CCP Biology teacher since 2012. Working here for 9 years, Ms. Kozak is fulfilling her dream of becoming a teacher that she’s had since kindergarten. Science was always her favorite subject in school. Although she considered teaching geology, science felt more natural because of her love for the outdoors and nature. Her favorite part of teaching is when her students have “ah-ha” moments.
Ms. Kozak is from Ravenna, Ohio. She graduated from high school in 2003. Ms. Kozak attended college at Ashland University, Montana State University, Bowling Green State University, and Wright State University. She has 2 bachelor’s degrees, 2 full master’s degrees, and half of another master’s degree. She previously taught at Mapleton High School in Ashland, Ohio.
Her biggest motivation is herself and her family; she is also motivated by competition. When asked what she enjoys doing out of school, she said, “hiking, napping, playing sports, more napping, reading, working out, traveling with my husband Jeremy, my dogs, going to school, and learning.” She is a new plant mom and has two labs, Gus and Eva.
We can’t wait to celebrate another year here at Bellevue High School with Ms.Kozak. If you see her in the halls, be sure you say “hello”!
