Renae Cartwright
Middle School Science

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year!


This is my 12th year teaching Middle School Science with the Clover Leaf Enrichment Program.  

My name is Renae Cartwright and I have been teaching science for 25+ years. I taught 6-8 grade in Texas, K-8 with Clover Leaf (formerly HOPE), and middle school science online with COVA-Colorado Virtual Academy for 7 years, and am starting in my 12th year with Cloverleaf.  I am so excited to be in the classroom with the students! I went to Baylor University in Waco, Texas. I am from Houston, TX, but we have lived in Castle Rock for 20 years. I am married to Chad and have 3 kids—Cayleigh, and twins Claire, and Randall. Cayleigh is a traveling oncology nurse and currently works in Los Angeles, California at UCLA Medical Center. Claire is a Marketing Analyst for Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida and Randall is a Tax Accountant for JRBT in Waco, TexasI have 2 cats that we adopted from the Buddy Center.  Rudy is 4 years old and is a tuxedo cat.  Remy is 2 years old and is solid gray.  I love running half marathons, reading, animals, traveling, science, and middle school students! 

The year is divided into four quarters and we will be studying a different facet of science each quarter: Life Science, Earth Science, Scientific Investigation, and Physical Science. 

We are going to have fun this year in science! Are you ready?
