     Miss Neral grew up in a large family that included one older sister and four brothers.  She has lived at the Jersey Shore her whole life. As a child she attended St. Rose Grammar School followed by St. Rose High School in Belmar, NJ.  After working a few years she set out for Kentucky and received her Bachelors in Elementary Education from Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro, Ky.

     In 1990 Miss Neral married Mike Honan and in 1991 their daughter Kerri was born.

     Mrs. Honan has worked in Manchester now for about twenty years.  When she first started in the district she worked as a basic skills math teacher at the Middle School. 

     Ten months after her daughter,  Kerri was born Mrs. Honan returned to work at Whiting School where she taught 5th grade science and math for 12 years.

     Now, Mrs. Honan is the technology teacher for grades 3 through 5 at both Ridgeway and Whiting Schools, and is the teacher for the Gifted & Talented program at Ridgeway School.

     Mrs. Honan  also spends a few days a week working towards her masters degree in Instructional Technology at Georgian Court University.

In her spare time Mrs. Honan is a volunteer and founding member of the Optimist Club of Brick and has recently co-chaired the development of the Junior Optimist Club for teenagers in Brick.

Mrs. Honan enjoys camping, canoeing and gardening with her family and is an avid amateur bird watcher.

 
    Mrs. Honan and Mrs. Swanson teamed up many times to write grants to support  Whiting School and various programs at the school.  Some of our favorite accomplishments were being recognized as a New Jersey Wild Outdoor Science Garden, receiving a grant from the NJ Dept. of Education for a Best Practice in Banking and being recognized as a New Jersey Tree School.
