Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!

STEM and Technology Foundations

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is a semester class. There is an introductory and intermediate class. There are 4 C's in STEM - Collaborate, Communicate, Creativity, and Critical Thinking. These are a part of all activities. This class allows for individual creativity but there is a focus on teamwork work and problem-solving. Core classes are embedded as students write, apply math skills, learn new vocabulary, and learn how to find information.

Tech Foundations is a course for 8th graders. It is a high-school class earning half credit that will transfer to Buena High School. The course focuses on digital literacy versus computer technology. Students will learn to use computer applications for productivity. The first thing we cover is how computers work and then we get into the applications such as word processing, spreadsheets, and graphics. This course will have research and writing assignments.

About me- I have been a part of the FHASD family since 2001. Before that, I worked at Huachuca City School in the Tombstone Unified School District. I grew up in Buffalo NY but moved to central Florida during my junior year of high school. My first introduction to Fort Huachuca was as a soldier. I was an Intelligence Analyst in the Army. I was a part of the 513th MI Group at Fort Monmouth and the 3rd Armored Division in Frankfurt Germany.

I coach the Girl's Cross Country and Track Teams.
I am a Crossfitter, runner, hiker, and cyclist! I enjoy traveling and tinkering. My husband and daughter are both teachers. My oldest son is in the Navy and my youngest attends Cochise College. I am a National Board Certified Teacher.
