Mrs. Tucker always wanted to sail the seas as a biologist but there was one problem, “I really wanted to be a marine biologist for a long time but I get really sick on a boat.”
Mrs. Tucker came from everybody’s favorite town, “I am from this area – Turlock, My mom taught science at TC for 11 years and now I teach here. I don’t know if that’s interesting.” And let’s not forget everybody’s favorite school, “I graduated from Turlock Christian High School. Then I went to college at CSU Stanislaus where I received a degree in Biological Science. After that I went through the Credential program at Stanislaus.”

Mrs. Tucker comes from an extensive background of caring for children, something that probably comes in handy, “I really enjoyed working with kids. I worked with children at my church and I really enjoyed it. When I first started teaching I taught elementary school, which I really enjoyed, but I love science and had the opportunity to teach high school biology and really enjoy that now.”

Although this is only Mrs. Tuckers 2ed year teaching at TCHS she has already become apart of our family, “The students I have, and the relationships I have with them are what makes me want to come to work everyday.”

For somebody who likes to go places all the time, it’s a good thing Mrs. Tucker always returns to our small town, “I love to travel – I have been a lot of fun places. I love Disneyland – any student who has had me for a teacher I think knows that. I am also a big SF Giants fan.”

Lucky for us Mrs. Tucker decided not to get on the boat.
