About The Teacher
This is my 16th year teaching at Bowie High School. I am married to Peter Hutcheson, a philosophy professor at Texas State University. I have 4 children: 3 in college (Vanessa-class of 05, and Jessica-class of 07, and Alyssa class of 09), and 1 in hihg school (a ninth-grader named Wesley). I go to football games, sit between the silver stars and the band and jump up and down and yell for the team. I think that science is the ULTIMATE interdisciplinary adventure! I am the sponsor of the Science Club (which meets Wednesdays 5th lunch in my room). I coach the UIL Science team (in Biology).

Mission Label:


Mission
Biology is the study of living things. It is a field of knowledge that is constantly growing: new discoveries are in the paper every day. As a good citizen and a productive member of society I want you to be scientifically literate. This means you should be able to read about a biology topic or issue in the paper, understand what it is about, recognize how it might affect your life or your loved ones, and vote wisely. As future college students, you need to uderstand the major overarching themes of Biology and know how the details of topics such as the cell cycle and cell differentiation, cellular energy, bioinformatics, evolution and ecology fit into these themes and are connected to each other. Biology is the meaning of life!
