Mrs. Heath - Math
I have taught middle school math for 12 years, and taught 6th grade and 4th grade the previous two years. All in all, this will be my 15th year teaching! I am excited for what the future may bring here at CPMS.
In December of 1999, I graduated from the University of Texas with a B.S. in Computer Science. I worked as a Database Analyst and Programmer for a few years. As my son got older and my husband hinted that I no longer needed to work as a result of his promotion, I quickly ditched it all and went back for my Teaching Certificate (my first love). . . . and here we are! (Best decision I ever made!)
I look forward to partnering with parents this school year to provide students with a chance at success and an in-depth understanding of Mathematics. I know "Math" can be like a 4-letter word to many students (& parents, I might add), but we will conquer this beast and have some fun along the way. With organization, responsibility and hard work, it will all be OK - success will come to those willing to put in the work to achieve it.
I was born and raised in Dallas, TX - and only recently moved here in December 2020. I will always be a Cowboys fan at heart, but have learned to also cheer on the Colts. I am married (20 years in May), and we have one son. He turned 25 this summer, and is back in Texas with his wife and son. I am a 3 - time breast cancer survivor! I have fought and won that battle, and try to help others who are themselves fighting or have relatives/friends fighting that battle. That is all done and over now, but it was quite a fight! I've been through it all and I have lots of experience. I try to take that "bad experience" and turn it into something rewarding by sharing my story and fight with others who are facing it in one way or another. I feel that if my story can help someone else deal with their own battles, then I'm willing to share it all. We just finished building a house in Noblesville, so I didn't jump back into teaching when we first moved. Instead, I served as a long-term substitute in a temporary position until I found CPMS and their offering of a full time position in the Fall. I quickly jumped on the bandwagon and I'm ready to get started. We haven't even started school yet, and I already feel at home with CPMS. It's going to be a great year!
I will leave you with a picture of my adorable "baby," Chewie - he's my snuggle buddy when it's cold! (And it's COLD a LOT up here! Burrrrr! I miss that Texas sun!). I will always be a Texan at heart, and will probably never drop my accent . . . TX is such a large state, there is so much to it and so many wonderful areas to visit. A few pictures of the life I left behind . . . .
