Sealy High School
Class Information:
Room Number: 133
Students per Class: 25 yearbook, 86 English 2
Class Description:
My 25 yearbook staffers are spread over two class periods. We will produce a 160 page all color yearbook with a 16 page advertising insert using four computers, InDesign CS, Photoshop CS and two, yes only two, digital cameras that we share with the newspaper staff.
Position:
English 2/Yearbook Adviser
Needs:
Cameras. Digital SLR is a dream, but point and shoots would be a blessing. We also need a high-powered flash for our existing Canon Rebel. I am the fourth yearbook adviser in 4 years, so the program has been neglected. Upgrades are needed in computers, software, scanners, etc., but cameras are our big concern right now.

Graduated from New Mexico State University in 1995. B.S. in Secondary Education, minor in Journalism
Activities:
I am a yearbook adviser and I'm married to a coach, so our world revolves around Sealy High School. Go Tigers!

Employment History:
I am in my 13th year of teaching. I have taught all over south Texas, including Kenedy, San Antonio, Schertz, Sinton and Sealy. I have taught seventh grade ELA, English I and II, photojournalism and journalism. I have advised literary magazine and yearbook. This is my sixth year as a yearbook adviser.
Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because every day is different and certainly never boring. I love watching them come to school as goofy freshmen and leave as mature seniors (OK, somewhat mature). Even though I'm becoming more and more like my mother, I will always know what is hip in terms of fashion, slang and music thanks to "my kids".
