My name is Bethany Thomas. This year, I'm teaching 6th and 7th grade science and sponsoring Jr. Beta Club. This is my 6th year teaching and my 4th year at MMS. I am a 2001 graduate of B.B. Comer. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice/Biology from The University of Alabama at Birmingham. As a military spouse, I spent 16 years in Virginia. While in VA, I studied/worked for years as a Certified Massage Therapist and a DUI/Vice & Narcotics Legal Secretary prior to finding my surprise dream job as a teacher. I completed "career switcher" alternative teacher certification coursework and a Masters of Education degree at Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virgina. I am licensed by the State of Alabama to teach all middle school sciences and 7-12 biological sciences. I hold a National Certificate for STEM Teaching completed in 2022. Thank you for allowing me to share my love for learning, nature, and science with your child.
