Ann graduated from Williamstown HS and Shippensburg State Teacher’s College where she co-captained the basketball team and met the love of her life, Jack Peak. Her teaching career spanned 32 years in Harrisburg, Pennsville and Penns Grove School districts during which time she received a NJ State grant for innovative education.
