Ms. Pearce is a math teacher here at Tallwood High School. She has been working here for 23 years now. She loves the environment at Tallwood and is very happy to be teaching in this school building. 

“I really liked math, and I didn’t know what to do with it so I took some teaching classes in college just as an option and I loved it. Also, my dad was a teacher, my grandmother was a teacher, and my aunt was a teacher,” said Ms. Pearce in response to why she started teaching.

She attended the University of Mary Washington for her Bachelor’s Degree and then for her Masters she attended the University of Virginia.

ROARING GAZETTE: “Why choose Tallwood?”
