Home > Beth Mangin’s Website > About Mrs. Mangin

Hello! Thank you for visiting my website. My name is Beth Mangin and I teach 5th grade at Riley Elementary.  I have been in various classrooms in the Vigo County School system for the last 20 years. I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Indiana State University and my teaching licensure through St. Mary-of-the-Woods. I feel fortunate to be able to work with such wonderful students and staff at Riley Elementary.

I have lived in Terre Haute for about 35 years. I am married and have two kids who make me proud to be their mom.  My son graduated from ISU and is employed in Illinois.  He is married and lives on the north side of Terre Haute.  My daughter graduated from Indiana University.  She works and lives in Bloomington.  I also have one very special grandson! In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and being outside.

I look forward to seeing and working with my students each day!
