Get to know Mrs. Beckham
Why Science?I love science! AND science has so much to offer- puzzles, order, art, complex reasoning, relevancy, and much more. I am passionate about showing my students just how cool it can be to "nerd out" about science.

ExperienceI received my bachelor's in science in Biology from George Fox University. Prior to pursuing teaching I worked in health care for several years and I am excited to bring many "real world" lessons into the classroom. I earned my Master's of Arts in Teaching through Pacific University's specialty STEM/ ESOL program. I worked at Woodburn High School. I am thrilled to be joining the team of teachers at Sprague!

What I do with my free time. I love to spend time with my friends and family. I try to go hiking or go to the beach as often as I can. My husband has a wood shop and we like spending our time creating new things together.

Read about the first working cell made of plastic! This article was released in 2014 but is still an interesting read.
