Student Government

SGA participated in a state convention on March 1-4. They received third place in a state project category out of 319 entries and were also awarded a medallion as a Gold Medal Council for the amount of projects and service they do. They scored 191 and submitted over 200 pieces of evidence.

   Students also ran two workshops. One was on the effective traits of a leader. The other was on effective communication in a group.

   Additionally, two of the 15 resolutions passed at the state level were drafted by Timber Creek students. Senior Amanda Packard authored a document that stated “repeat DUI offenders should have breathalyzers installed in the cars.” Also, senior John Hutchison authored another resolution, meant to “increase the tax on cigarettes to deter smoking and increase state funds.”

An alumni of UCF, I began teaching English at Timber Creek High School in 2004. I have taught all grade levels, but spent the most time teaching English 3 honors before becoming a writing teacher. I now teach Creative Writing regular and advanced, Journalism, and Newspaper. I am also the adviser for FLOW: the TCHS Literary and Art Magazine, the Key Club, Quill and Scroll, the Life Skills Club, and our schools Poetry Slam team. I am married and gave birth to our first child, James, in May of 2013. In my free time (hah!) I think about school and spend time with my family.
