Welcome  Warriors! 

     Thank you for taking the time to visit my MHS web site.  2008-09 is my thirty-fifth year to teach, and I attribute my enthusiasm for teaching to the tremendous Martin students, faculty, and parents.  I began my teaching career at La Vega High School in Waco, Texas, after receiving both my B.A. and M.A. in English from Baylor University.  After eight years at La Vega, I came to Arlington, where I taught  at Sam Houston High School and the original Bowie High School before coming to Martin in 1985.  While I have taught English to all levels in grades 9-12, for the last sixteen years, my concentration has been on the AP level.  We at Martin are very proud of our outstanding College Board scores, which are some of the highest in the nation. 

     When I am not involved in Martin activities, I especially enjoy travelling with my husband Eddy (a coach at Crowley High School) and my daughter Hannah, who is a senior at Martin.  I also love seasonal home decorating,  watching SEC college football, and cooking!
