Greeting

Hello Owls! I am extremely excited to be a part of the wonderful faculty and staff at Chalmette High School teaching Biology. I love teaching biology because it offers one an opportunity to better understand themselves and to develop a greater appreciation of all the living things around them. My goal is to encourage and enhance each students' critical thinking abilities by instilling in them a growth mindset to help advance both their social and educational success.
