Biology teacher Heather Alonge is passionate about sharing her love of science with her students, raising her 12-year-old daughter, coaching the girl,s cross country team and helping mentor teen parents in order to ensure their success.

Biology teacher Heather Alonge has been teaching here for seven years. She started out at a community college then moved on to Michigan State University as an undergraduate, did an internship at Eastern High School, and then was hired here at Everett High School.
Alonge is currently working on her Master’s degree in Biology at Michigan State University.  She hopes to complete the program this summer.
Alonge devotes some of her time to coach the girl’s cross country team in the fall. She also hosts a Teen pregnancy group here at Everett once a week, to encourage teen-parents to stay in school and graduate.
“Since I went back to college later in life, I was already married and had a child,” said Alonge. “I saw the challenges that teen-parents face, particularly for teen moms.”
Alonge’s life outside of school includes spending lots of time with her daughter who is 12-years-old.  She said she also loves to read and do crafts.
“I love to scrapbook,” said Alonge.
In fact, Alonge keeps a school scrapbook with words and pictures along with her former and present students, newspaper articles that she would want to remember and funny quotes from her students.
Alonge doesn’t plan on retiring soon, but she sometimes pulls out a small reminder of that far-off date. She has a crown that her friend and colleague Melissa Mazzola, who taught environmental science and math before leaving Everett, made for her, with year “2033” on the front.
“You can say that’s my graduation year,” says Alonge.
