Welcome our new Testing Coordinator
Mandy McIntosh
Hello! I am Mandy McIntosh. I grew up right here in Burleson, Texas, graduating class of 98’. After high school, I went to Texas Wesleyan University and received a B.S. in History. Then I went to Texas Woman’s University to complete a Masters in Teaching. Last year, I finished a principal certification program at Lamar University. I spent the last five years teaching 8th grade social studies at Kerr Middle School.
I have two daughters, Skylar and Jaici. They have kept us busy with cheer and band at CHS over the past few years. I am a very proud mother! We like to go to the Ranger games, kayak, hike, camp and go to local art and music festivals. Our favorite vacation destination is the Rocky Mountains! In my spare time I love to garden and cook.
I am so glad to be a STEAM Wolverine this year! I am most excited about being a part of a new way of learning that STEAM offers. In just a few days, I have seen some of the amazing creativity of the students at STEAM. The energy on the STEAM campus is unlike any I have ever been a part of! Thank you to the STEAM team, students, and parents for such a warm welcome!

We will start by showcasing student SLF testimonies shared in Mrs. Sanchez's science classes.
Thank you for sharing these on Twitter/Instagram, Mrs. Sanchez.
I like it more than the way we normally learn.....
I like it better because you can use a group to help you....
I like the Framework more because it gives more of a plan on how you're going to do something.
