Ms. Willis Math
I am entering my 15th year of teaching. (With the exception of last year, all of those have been in math.) I graduated from Arkansas Tech University (Russellville, AR) with a BS in middle school math and science in 2001. I taught in Arkansas for the first 3 years of my career and moved to Tonganoxie in 2004.
I have 3 great kids of my own. My oldest lives and works in the Fayetteville, AR area. My middle child is attending Wichita State University and entering her sophomore year where she is a member of the women's track team. And my youngest is a senior right here at THS. This year I will be teaching 6th and 7th grade math as well as coaching the THS cheer squad. My daily plan time is from 11:07 - 11:55. You can reach me at swillis@tong464 or 913-416-1470. For updates regarding my math classroom, please see the 6th grade Homework Hotline. |
