Core Teachers

Rachael Miller

 In my second year as the 7th & 8th grade math teacher, I am looking forward to seeing how the rising 8th graders build on the amazing work they did last year. I am also anxious to see how the rising 7th graders react and engage with  new, more complex math. I have been a Montessori teacher, a homeschooler, and a homesteader. As a lifelong learner, I hope to encourage curiosity and flexibility as the CCS middle schoolers dive into another year of math.

I’m excited to be teaching humanities to primarily seventh graders this year, engaging them in history, reading and writing.    I’m a big sports fan and our family, which includes a ninth grader and a seventh grader at Mt Abe, love the outdoors. You’ll often find the four of us at local swimming spots in the summer.   Looking forward to connecting with all of you and kicking off a great year!

Julia Beerworth

I am really excited to be joining the CCS community for my second year.  I will primarily  be teaching  eighth-grade humanities, focusing on social studies, reading, and writing. I will also be teaching Personal Finance for seventh grade. I enjoy playing music,  gardening, hiking, biking, and snowboarding, and paddleboaring.  I have one child  at UVM, one at CVU, and a first grader at  CCS.  I’m looking forward to meeting and connecting with our students and new families.

This will be  my 33rd year teaching language at CCS. I will be teaching the 7th and 8th grade French and Spanish programs next year.  I love hiking, cooking, traveling, and exploring the outdoors. This summer I will be hiking in Spain and relaxing on the coast of Maine.

I will be teaching 7th and 8th grade science this year. I will be a core teacher, as well as an advisor. My passions lie in wildlife biology, birding, hiking, and of course, engaging students in science and STEM.

Beth Slater

I will be  the 8th grade special educator this year.  This is my 20th year teaching and my 6th year at CCS.  I generally support students in math and humanities classes, but can be found in other classes as well!!  Most students know me as "Miss Beth." When I am not at work, I love spending time with my family.  I also enjoy biking, skiing, reading, and hiking.  I look forward to a great 2022-2023 school year!

Betsy Martin

I will be the 7th grade special educator this year. This will be my 8th year at CCS! When I’m not at school you can find me hiking, camping, playing basketball, rock climbing or snowboarding. I love spending my time outside and enjoying all that Vermont has to offer! This summer I am spending a few weeks road tripping through National Parks in the Southwest part of the US.
