Have you ever left somewhere with a desire to know more, that is my goal for my students everyday. I am the biology teacher at our high school. We are a rural high school, serving about 250 students. We are a low-income school district in Missouri, having 50-60% of our students on free and reduced lunch. I have students in grades 9-12 intermixed in my classes. Each year, I have an average of 75 Biology I students, and 35 Biology II students, and 15 Environmental Science students. Of those students, about 15 go on to our Dual Credit College Biology class and do very well.
