Hi, I'm Beckie Truitt and I am a new member of the Oiler Nation.  I know I'm blessed because I found my way to Pearland High School.  This will be my 13th year of teaching.  I am a graduate of the University of Houston, Clear Lake (Go Cougs!).  Prior to becoming a Certified Teacher I had a career in Public Accounting and as a Comptroller in private industry.  Teachiing has become and is my passion.  Some of the most rewarding and memorable experiences of my life have transpired in the classroom.  I can't thiink of anywhere I would rather be to earn a living and be a productive member of society than in a classroom working with children.  My enthusiasm level is high and I'm excited at the opportunity the upcoming school year provides for my students to achieve and celebrate personal successes as we spend quality learning time together.

A few irrelavent tidbits about me personally are:

I am a grandma (NiNi) to 4 beautiful and wonderful grandchildren.  Gage, age 6 and Grant 1 yr. + live in Pearland   Ethan age 5 and Adelyn 1 yr. + live in Fort Worth

I am committed to being a life long learner.

Horses and animals are a big part of my life.  I love horseback riding  and camping in the mountains and organized ranch rides. 

I enjoy trap shooting, and hunting.  When I was growing up in South Dakota everyone in the family learned how to handle a gun and hunt.

Camping near water (with air conditioning)  and fresh water fishing are something I love to spend my spare time doing.

Outside doing something is where I'd rather be but if weather will not permit a good book or marathon movies are quite enjoyable.

Got to have my Texans game time and also enjoy Rocketball and the Astros.
