Jamie Mueller, MA
Debbie Musso P’14
Upper School English Teacher 2006
Infant & Toddler Center Teacher 2005
By fourth grade, Mrs. Mueller knew she wanted to be an English teacher, and by sixth grade - when she had her father as her teacher - she knew she wanted to write. The years she’s spent in the classroom at HB have consistently confirmed that those early instincts were correct.
A favorite among little ones, Mrs. Musso is one of the many reasons that HB’s Infant & Toddler Center is such a busy and happy place. She loves to bring HB’s youngest learners outside to run, jump, play, and explore the campus when the sun is shining.
Ms. Kasubick has always been a Middle School teacher. She has a passion for history, especially East Asian studies and anything related to the Cold War. In addition to her commitment teaching seventh-grade girls, she loves photography and she shares her skill and creativity with students in the classroom.
It’s always fun to hitch a ride with Mr. Niederst. He knows all of Cleveland’s highways and byways by heart and he’s an excellent conversationalist who keeps his passengers enlightened and entertained. He travels all across the region, safely delivering HB students to hundreds of destinations.

Liz Patterson, MD, MS P’06,’11
Director of Communication & Outreach 2008
Director of the Osborne Writing Center, Upper School English Teacher 2011
Middle School Mathematics Department Chair, Middle School Mathematics Teacher 2005
One of Ms. Osborne’s major responsibilities at HB is editing the school’s magazine. Her varied career has included positions as a mental health worker in the psychiatric intensive care unit of an inner-city hospital, as a customer service trainer for an insurance company, and as a police and education beat reporter for a daily newspaper.
Mr. Parsons lives to read books, surround himself with books about books, write about books, and watch movie adaptations of books; and a friendship with him feels somewhat like signing on for a lifetime, relentless membership in a book group. He’s also a published author who has presented at numerous state and national conferences.
When her tenure as co-director of the introductory clinical medicine program at an area medical school was completed, Dr. Patterson moved into a Middle School math classroom at HB. As a teacher, a mother, and a graduate, she understands and has felt firsthand the benefits of an allgirls’ independent school education.
Upper School Office Administrative Assistant 1985
After a stint in marketing and public relations, Ms. Oberholtz joined HB and spent the last three decades working in the Upper School office. Through many changes in locations and directors, she has loved watching the division thrive - growing from graduating classes of 30 to 40 students to classes that now number in the 80s and 90s. 20
