This is year number 29 to be a Clarksville High School Wildcat! I am happy to be a part of this school and its great traditions of excellence. Teaching is in my blood, as I am the daughter of parents who accumulated more than fifty combined years of teaching on the high school and college levels. I have earned B.A., M.A., and Ed.S. degrees --all from Austin Peay State University. In 2008, I earned a doctorate with a focus on reading. Some of my favorite hobbies include reading, going to plays, watching sports, and spending time with family. I also enjoy leading overseas education excursions with my students. In recent trips, we have visited England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Italy, Greece, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, and Austria. We are returning to Greece in December 2024.
I am excited about having an extraordinary school year with you! 🙂

Academic standards, chosen by the Tennessee State Board of Education, provide a common set of expectations for what students should know and be able to do at the end of a specific grade or course.  Local school districts determine the order in which these state-mandated standards are addressed in their schools.  For a breakdown of standard pacing and course objectives for English III students in the Clarksville Montgomery County School System, please visit the Academic Resources link under the Students & Parents tab on the CMCSS homepage.

 

It is the policy of the Clarksville Montgomery County School System to follow the dictates of state statutes in the selection and use of all instructional materials.  Parents or legal guardians may request to review any instructional materials used in the classroom of the parent or legal guardian’s child following the guideline set forth in Instructional Policy INS-A073 found at: https://employees.cmcss.net/misc/ViewISO?filename=INS-A073.pdf.

 

The chart below outlines the units of study for English III and possible major assignments or field trips that could be used to enhance student learning or solidify mastery of standards in each unit.  This chart is not inclusive of every assignment for English III, as additional or different assignments may be created based on the needs of students.  Specific details for major assignments will be shared with students and parents or legal guardians as the standards related to the assignments are addressed in class.
