Welcome to Mrs. Smith's Social Studies class.  This year, I will be teaching Government and Economics.  This is my eighth year teaching at PHS (Social Studies).  Previous to PHS, I spent five years teaching math.

I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from Texas A&M University and a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in International Business from the University of Houston - Clear Lake.  While I enjoyed working in the "business" world, I did not feel quite fulfilled, so I took steps to become certified as a teacher.  Teaching gives me the opportunity to continue my own learning while sharing the excitement with others!

I was born and raised in the area.  I have been married for 20 years and we have a very energetic nine-year-old son.
