Welcome to PHS Science! My goal is to share info about what is going on in my science classes at PHS. A little background about myself- I graduated in 1989 from PHS and then spent 1 year at Illinois State University before attending EIU. I graduated from EIU summa cum laude with a double major in botany and zoology. My first teaching job was at Altamont high school,then Casey/Westfield and finally Paris in 1999. I got married in 1992 and have 2 children (Dylan 1996 and Mikayla 1999), 4 cats (Molly and Smokey and Cow and Mocha) . At PHS I currently teach: biology, biotechnology and anatomy & physiology and forensics. I am the science department chairperson and sponsor both the eco-team and envirothon team.
