Mrs. Woolls
Applied Computer Sciences
I began teaching 20 years ago after working and living overseas for about 7 years. My degree is computer science, but most schools did not offer computer science classes but there was a great need for math teachers! So I quickly found a teaching job as a math teacher. I finally got the opportunity to teach computer classes about 4 years ago. I love teaching both math and computer science because they involve problem solving and creativity - without using traditional art supplies! My goal as a teacher is to get students excited about the computer science field which is changing and expanding everyday.
