Brief Biography: “I have always loved learning about the natural world and all the intricacies of how the world functions,” says Mrs. Smith. She has been a teacher in various forms (public high school, private school, and homeschool) since 1994, and she has been teaching middle school science for more than 15 years. As a middle school science teacher at PALCS, she hopes to foster in her students a love and fascination for the world in which we live, and to think critically about our world.
In her spare time, Mrs. Smith loves spending time with friends and family. She also enjoys cooking, gardening, reading, and exercising.
