Welcome! This is my 14th year teaching at Blackman High School. Before Blackman I taught at MTCS and Columbia Central High School. I attended Harding University and then IUPUI. This year I am teaching Honors English IV; I am also the Prom Sponsor and EPIC Co-Sponsor. 

Please check your grades regularly through Skyward using your assigned username and password. If you need assistance with your login information, visit or call our attendance office (ext. 22913).

Use Clever to access Schoology. Students can access Clever from the BHS or RCS websites using the "Students" tab. I will post updates in Schoology on those days our class meets. Students should check Schoology updates when they are absent. 

Our online textbook can be accessed through Clever as well:  go to Clever, scroll until you see the Savvas icon, click the icon, and it will take you to our online textbook. Students will also be given their own consumable textbook. They may take this textbook home but will need to bring it to class daily. However, if they wish to leave the textbook in the classroom (it's bulky), there are shelves available. 

Access your Office 365 account from the "Student" tab at the top of either the RCS or BHS websites. It is important to check your school email daily for information from teachers, counselors, and administrators. 

My goal is to post our daily activities and announcements in Schoology. Our classroom will be mostly paperless; assignments given and turned in on Schoology or the online textbook. There will be occasional paper assignments.
