Hello! My name is Ms. Strickland, and I am honored to serve as your Lion’s ELAR teacher and Team Lead for the 2025–2026 school year. This will be my 9th year teaching at CMS, and I am beyond excited to continue working with our amazing students and families.

I am a proud graduate of the prestigious Texas Southern University, and I have a passion for inspiring a love of reading, writing, and critical thinking in every student I teach.

Outside of the classroom, I am a loving wife and proud mother of two wonderful boys. In my free time, I enjoy reading, shopping, working out, and spending time outdoors—whether it’s soaking up the sunshine, exploring new places, or simply enjoying fresh air with my family.

I look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable memories, and I am committed to helping my students shine both inside and outside of the classroom.
