Welcome to the 2019-2020 School Year!  My name is Ali Neely, and I am thrilled to join the fantastic teachers at Fort Couch Middle School.  This is my eighth year in teaching and my first year with Upper St. Clair School District.  I couldn't be more excited and proud to join such a dynamic team of educators.  

I grew up in Bethel Park, and I attended The University of Pittsburgh for both undergraduate and graduate studies.  I currently reside in Crafton with my husband, Ryan.  We have a one-year-old, Olivia, and we have a dog named Roxy.  Both of them keep us on our toes!  I am a long distance runner and have completed three half-marathons. I'm hoping to complete a full marathon some day.  In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, reading, movies, and spending time with friends and family.

As a Special Education Teacher, I am committed to helping all students achieve.  It is my promise to work dilligently with every student at Fort Couch in order to be successful in all aspects of education.  I am here to help in any way that I can to enrich the experience at USC. Here's to a great school year!
